Hayden junior golf and tennis standout Izzy Glotzbach and Shawnee Heights junior football standout Aiden Scott have been selected by the Dan Key Farmers Insurance Agency as the Rising Stars of the Week.
The Dan Key Agency will recognize top Shawnee County underclassmen throughout the bulk of the 2024-2025 school year.
Here’s a brief look at the accomplishments of Glotzbach and Scott over the past week:
IZZY GLOTZBACH, Hayden
A two-sport fall athlete in golf and tennis, the Hayden junior won championships in both sports last week.
Glotzbach teamed with senior Emily Sheetz to win the No. 1 doubles championship in last Tuesday's Hayden Invitational tennis tournament at Kossover Tennis Center with a 9-7 win over Marysville and she shared the individual title in last Thursday's Seaman Invitational golf tournament at Village Greens Golf Course with a 76, leading the Wildcats to a second-place team finish.
As a sophomore Glotzbach placed ninth in the Class 4A state golf tournament while helping the Wildcats win the state team title by 37 strokes and she also earned a berth in the 4A state tennis tournament.
AIDEN SCOTT, Shawnee Heights
A junior first-year starter at quarterback for the T-Birds, Scott has eclipsed the 300-yard passing mark in his first two games of 2024.
Scott is coming off of a 16 of 26 passing performance for 333 yards and three touchdowns in last Friday's 53-8 United Kansas Conference victory over Topeka West at Hummer Sports Park.
Scott, who also rushed for a TD against Topeka West, has now completed 40 of 66 passes for 655 yards and five touchdowns for the 1-1 T-Birds.
