Congratulations to Levi Duitsman and Aiden Cheek, our RTHS Athletes of the Week!
Coach Kyle Lewis shared that both Levi (Jr.) and Aiden (Soph.) have led the way for the team during their 6–2 stretch over the past two weeks, making a major impact both offensively and on the mound. The duo has combined for a 4–0 record during this span without allowing a single earned run, and Coach Lewis noted their performances have nearly mirrored each other.

Great job, Levi and Aiden!
