Etzler wins weekly award

Crestview High School basketball player Kylie Etzler is this week’s Van Wert independent/Northwest Ohio Welch Trophy Student Athlete of the Week. The 5-7 junior guard was nominated by Athletic Administrator Trent Kreischer, who noted she’s one of the top juniors in the class. “Kylie has been a great addition to our school and basketball team,” head coach Mark Gregory said. “She works really hard and is a great teammate. The team and I are very proud of her for receiving this award.” Etzler plans to play softball for the Lady Knights in the spring. Scott Truxell/Van Wert independent
