Congrats to Trojan wrestler Isaac Hoshide for being named Cobb Schools’ Athlete of the Week (AOW). The AOW program is a weekly recognition of student-athletes performing at high levels in their sport, classroom, and school communities. 

Battling through complications from a broken collarbone his freshman year, Isaac has had to undergo several surgeries during high school. As mentally and physically tough as he is, Isaac did not let the injuries deter him. He is a two-time Cobb County Champ and last year's 6A 113-lb state champ. After a long recovery from shoulder surgery, Isaac won his 100th career match to begin his senior season. He is one of the team captains for the Trojans and also wrestles for Team Georgia's National Team. Isaac is also a star in the classroom; he carries a 4.625 GPA and scored 1520 on the SAT!

"Isaac has been a tremendous asset to Lassiter Wrestling," said his coach Matt Brickley. "He has been wrestling since elementary school, starting in Maine, before moving to Cobb in middle school. His junior year was a true test of his determination. Shoulder instability due to the collarbone issues led him to have numerous dislocations throughout the season. He worked through the pain to win his second Cobb County Championship and continue on to win the state title. He was acknowledged by the Cobb County Wrestling Association as Wrestler of the Year and was presented with the Adversity Award."

"The impact and mentorship that he's left on the program and the other wrestlers will never be forgotten. He is the definition of a leader and one of the brightest students we have at Lassiter. He is the type of athlete who is irreplaceable and will be missed terribly after graduation. We are so proud of Isaac Hoshide," Coach Brickley concluded about his state champ and Athlete of the Week.
