Stadium Sports Top Dog Athlete Of The Week

 

Top Dawg Athlete of the Week is a weekly honor given out by the KBRX Sports Department during the Dawg Pound Sports Show every Wednesday night. Student/athletes are considered based on accomplishments from games the previous week before the Show (Mon-Sat). Any high school athlete from our KBRX coverage area is eligible. Once chosen, an athlete will not be eligible for two months, or until the conclusion of the current sports season. Since we cannot cover all sporting events, listeners and fans are encouraged to submit their nominations to us. If you have a nomination, please fill in the form at the bottom of the page, send it to us via e-mail to sports@kbrx.com, mark@kbrx.com, fax it to us at 336-3585, or simply tell a member of the Sports Department. Please include a reason why this athlete is deserving of the honor of Top Dawg, and include any stats or other significant achievements that may apply.

Please contact us if you have questions or comments about the Top Dawg Athlete of the Week. Thank you for helping us honor the  area athletes who are deserving of recognition for their efforts in representing their schools and communities.
