Oconto Falls senior Amber Otto has been selected as the Box Out Sports Athlete of the Week for the week of September 16-22 after a statewide vote on WisSports.net.
There were 2,818 total votes this week. Otto topped all vote getters with 893 votes. Beaver Dam's McKenna Nelson finished in second with 679 votes.
Otto was exceptional as Oconto Falls went 6-1 and secured a tournament title on Saturday. Tuesday, she had 13 digs, 11 kills, and 3 aces in a 3-0 sweep of Wrightstown, followed by 5 digs, 4 kills and 4 aces in a 3-0 sweep of Denmark. The Panthers then competed in the Red Raider Invite in Pulaski and went 4-1 to win the tournament. Falls started out with a 2-1 loss to West De Pere, but rattled off wins over Green Bay NEW Lutheran, Houghton and Pulaski to set up a rematch with West De Pere in the title match, where they swept the Phantoms to win the tournament crown. Otto was great throughout the five matches, amassing 55 kills, 23 digs, 7 aces, and 1 block.
Otto and the Oconto Falls squad will head to West De Pere this weekend to compete in a tournament.
