Poll results: Bellefonte soccer player selected as CDT Athlete of the Week
The readers of CentreDaily.com have selected this week’s girls’ athlete of the week.
Angelina Kasak won the poll for the week of Aug. 28-Sept. 3 for her performance with Bellefonte girls soccer.
Kasak helped the Raiders start their season with two wins, one of which was a 2-1 victory over Huntingdon in double overtime. She scored both goals in that matchup including the game winner in the second overtime.
She took 55% of the poll, with 4,342 votes.
Here were the other nominees:

For the CDT’s Athlete of the Week polls this season, we will take nominations from all six county athletic departments for both a boys’ and girls’ athlete of the week. Voting for this poll ended Sunday. As a reminder, the poll is not scientific and just for fun. In fact, we invite you to vote as many times as you want. Look for future polls at CentreDaily.com.
