The Student Athlete of the Week segment is powered by NECA-IBEW and Akron Children’s Hospital.
This week's athletes are from Manchester High School.
Sophomore Cassidy Perry is a three-sport athlete at Manchester High School. Cassidy plays tennis in the fall, basketball in the winter, and really excels at softball. Last season as a freshman, Cass broke the single season homerun record and was named First Team PAC-7. This year she is off to a hot start at the plate with a .625 batting average and scoring four runs in three games. She also excels in the classroom with all A's and B's this school year.
Junior Blaise Donatelli is a three-sport athlete at Manchester. He plays football, basketball, and is currently running track. Blaise works extremely hard in the weight room in his limited free time, and has gotten all A's and B's this school year. In their only track meet of the season, Blaise finished in first place in the 100 and 200 against a really talented Fairless team. He is an extremely tough Manchester athlete that leads by example and will play a big role in all three sports next year for his senior season.
