Crusader Athletes of the Week: January 21, 2026

BRANDON FRATES – Boys Basketball
Brandon followed up a career high 15 points vs Sturgis with 11 points vs Randolph. Including the game tying 3 pointer to send the game to OT, then the game winner in OT. Brandon continues his hard work from the off season and is starting to see results at the varsity level. Brandon is also a nominee for the Patriot Ledger Athlete of the Week!

LEVON MULREADY – Boys Ice Hockey
Levon has been a driving force for our team this season, serving as our captain and setting the standard every time he steps on the ice. His leadership is evident in both his work ethic and his relentless desire to win, which has become contagious throughout the locker room. He truly embodies our team mantra of “add to the dash,” consistently adding to the legacy of excellence within our program through his leadership and competitive spirit. Through the first 8 games, he has tallied 4 goals and 9 assists for 13 points. Defensively, his commitment is just as strong, as he is averaging over one blocked shot per game and sacrificing his body to help the team succeed.
