Philipsburg-Osceola soccer’s Carson Long is the Centre Daily Times’ Athlete of the Week for Sept. 6-10
The Centre Daily Times’ Athlete of the Week from Sept. 6-11 has been determined by our readers. Philipsburg-Osceola boys soccer’s freshman Carson Long won the weekly poll, generating 45.24% of the vote (509 votes). Junior State College quarterback Finn Furmanek finished second with 21.96% of votes (247 votes).
Long played a crucial role in helping his Mounties jump to their first victory of the season, a 3-2 win over Bald Eagle Area last Thursday. Long had a hat-trick in five shots and was assisted by Evan Bock and Alex Godin. He went on to have a goal and assist in a 4-3 loss to Clearfield. Long’s extra point was also instrumental in P-O’s football’s 7-6 win over Huntingdon.
He’s continued his success into this week, scoring in each of the Mounties three soccer games — including two more hat-tricks —and setting a new single-game assists record vs. Tyrone.
Check back Monday for the Centre County Athlete of the Week poll for the week of Sept. 13-18.
