Owen Koleno has been selected as Warrior Watch’s Male Athlete of the Week for the week ending on 1/5/24. Junior Owen Koleno has been a key part of the undefeated Warriors basketball team. He is the leading scorer on the team thus far in the season, averaging almost 23 points per game. With just over 9 rebounds per game, he is second-highest behind one other teammate. 

Senior teammate Zach McGonigal says, “I’m happy for Owen as his hard work is starting to pay off. I’m looking forward to seeing him succeed and help the team make it to districts.” The basketball team has a tough stretch of games, with the next four being away games. Tuesday the 23rd and Friday the 26th are both conference games, with competitive foes.
