WAND Sports introduces a brand new segment, Athlete of the Week presented by Midwest Technical Institute!
Each week, sports director Gordon Voit, Mark Pearson and Orlando Toatley put the spotlight on a local high school athlete who is excelling as a student and community member as well!
To submit a student-athlete's name, please send a detailed list of his/her accolades to Gordon Voit on Facebook or via email at Gordon.Voit@wandtv.com.

Week 10: Sage Davis (Mt. Zion football)
Sage Davis is a major reason that Mt. Zion (10-0) is having its best football season since 2008, but his bone-jarring tackles at linebacker and consistent bursts of yardage at running back aren't the only thing that makes the 220-pound Braves senior special.
Davis volunteers every week at his church youth group and boasts a 3.99 GPA. He is headed to Minnesota State on a football scholarship next season.
