Athletes of the Week: 9/22/23

By Staff | Sep 21, 2023

Andre Costa

Senior

Football

North Fort Myers Red Knights

The playmaking running back turned in a big performance in a tough defeat against Lemon Bay. Costa carried 18 times for 121 yards and three touchdowns, and is now averaging more than 150 all-purpose yards-per-game this year.

“Last week didn’t turn out how we wanted, and we’re all hungry for a win. Every time I step on the field I get an adrenaline rush, and I’m always ready to make explosive plays for my team. A lot of credit goes to our O-line, and our work as a team day in and day out. Little things like watching film have really helped me take a leap.”

Melissa Blaine

Senior

Swimming

Cape Coral Seahawks

The senior standout came home with two first-place finishes at the Tarpon Invitational, where the Seahawks were victorious. Blaine placed first in the 200-meter IM and the 500-meter freestyle, and was also part of a second-place 200-meter freestyle relay team.

“As this is my senior year, I am trying to take in and enjoy every moment. When I jump in the pool, I want to make sure that I race, but also have fun. I have been working really hard and focusing on my technique as we head closer to the State Series so that I can perform well for my team.”
