The Citizen is proud to feature exceptional student-athletes from across our community each week. Whether they’re leading their teams to victory, showing strong character on and off the field, or making steady progress in their sport, these athletes represent the very best of local youth. We celebrate their hard work, dedication, and leadership in schools, leagues, and clubs throughout Fayette and Coweta counties.

For the week of September 7, we’re proud to feature these athletes:

East Coweta High School

Payton Wilson

Softball

Payton is off to a strong start, helping lead the Lady Indians on the softball diamond. As the varsity shortstop, she is making an impact both defensively and at the plate, currently leading the team in hitting.

Fayette County High School

Shawn Mitchell

Football

Shawn is a freshman football player who has been a pleasant surprise this summer. He has slowly worked himself into a position on varsity special teams in this Friday’s game against South Cobb. 

McIntosh High School

Carly Maday

Cross Country

Carly consistently demonstrates all of the core principles we push for on our team.  – Coach Johnson

Starrs Mill High School

Kasi Bartley

Volleyball

Hard-working, talented athlete who never quits. Ultimate efficiency in the front row! Leading the team in hitting percentage, maximizes every single set while anchoring our defense with the second-highest blocks.

Special mention to additional Athlete of the Week of August 31:

Fayette County High School

Elijah Kerr

Football

Elijah is a SR who is a two-way starter at Tight End on offense, and Defensive End on defense. He is an integral part of the Tiger football program and makes a huge impact on both sides of the football.
