This week, we had 12 Rowell’s Garage male athlete of the week nominations. Brayden Miller hit a walk-off home run to give the Dexter Tigers a 6-4 semifinal win over Fort Kent. It is the second athlete of the week honor for Miller. He was named AOW on September 20th, 2015. This is the second straight week a Dexter student/athlete earned AOW honor.
