Athlete of the Week – Girl’s Track – Esther Brimmage, Freshman This week’s Athlete of the Week is freshman standout Esther Brimmage, whose impact across multiple events continues to elevate the Lady Pioneers. At the Joe Schott Invitational at Decatur Central, Esther placed 2nd in the 400m dash with a state top-25 time and won the 800m run, helping lead the team to a 2nd-place finish behind Cathedral. Esther’s success builds on an already impressive start to her high school career. Earlier this season, she won the 400m dash at the Avon and Plainfield meet by a significant margin and captured the 300m hurdles title at the Pendleton Heights Invitational, finishing within a second of the school record. She also set a new indoor school record in the 60m hurdles and has been a key contributor on the 4x200m and 4x400m relays, with the 4x200 team winning the Brownsburg Last Chance Qualifier against larger schools. Now ranked in the top 50 in the state in the 400m dash, 300m hurdles, and 800m run, Esther has proven to be one of the most versatile athletes in the program. Her ability to contribute across sprint, hurdle, distance, and relay events highlights both her talent and her team-first mindset. Despite her success, Esther leads in a quiet, respectful way—earning the trust of her teammates through performance and consistency while supporting the leadership of upperclassmen. Her steady improvement, work ethic, and willingness to fill whatever role the team needs have made her an invaluable part of the program. As the season progresses, Esther’s continued growth and versatility will play a major role in the Lady Pioneers’ success, making her a well-deserving Athlete of the Week. Athlete of the Week – Boy’s Baseball – Hudson DeVaughan, Senior This week’s Athlete of the Week is senior pitcher Hudson DeVaughan, who has opened his 2026 season in dominant fashion on the mound for the Pioneers.

Through his first two starts, Hudson is a perfect 2–0, recording 28 strikeouts, allowing just 2 hits, and giving up zero runs.

His strong work ethic and preparation ensure he is always ready to compete at a high level. Hudson’s dominance on the mound, combined with his leadership and commitment to his team, make him a well-deserving Athlete of the Week.
