Florida Power & Light PNJ Girls Athlete of the Week, Nov. 24-29

2025 rolls into December, but the high school sports calendar stops for no one.

Tate is the lone Pensacola area football team still playing as it will play Dr. Joaquin Garcia in the 4A-7A Florida Invitational Tournament championship at the Range at HG Morse Stadium at the Villages Charter School on Thursday.

The FIT is for the best teams that didn’t make the state playoffs.

Pensacola Catholic was the last area team in the state playoffs before losing at Bolles in the Region 1-2A championship on Nov. 28.

Basketball teams clashed at holiday tournaments, while a couple soccer teams squeezed in a few more games before Thanksgiving. Girls wrestling got underway lasy week and boys wrestling starts competitions on Monday.

Even with the holiday, there’s still enough nominees for boys and girls athlete of the week polls for Nov. 24-29. As always, we need you to vote on the top boys and girls athlete in the Pensacola area.

Last week Pensacola Catholic basketball’s Sam Quebedeaux won the boys award, while Gulf Breeze cross country’s Kenna Borras won the girls award. Quebedeaux received 78.92 percent of the vote, while Borras received 53.21 percent of the vote.

Voting closes at 11 a.m. Saturday, and the winners will be announced each Monday after the poll closes. Each weekly winner will be awarded a PNJ Athlete of the Week shirt provided by BSN SPORTS. An athlete can only win one time per season.

Nominees will be accepted via phone or email, but the poll is decided by PNJ staff. Send nominations by Sunday night.
