Congratulations to our Athletes of the Week and thanks to the Long Beach Century Club and Naples Rib Company for their support.

Katie Knarr, Millikan Softball

COLLEGE

Aidan Knipe, Long Beach State Volleyball

Setter Aidan Knipe helped lead Long Beach State to a stunning sweep win over Hawaii last weekend, giving the Rainbow Warriors their first home straight-set loss in three years. Knipe guided the Beach offense to a .484 hitting clip, while putting up 43 assists in just three sets of action.
