THE WOODLANDS, Texas – Rhythm Energy Athlete of the Week is College Park High School’s Salem Sharif, who helped his Cavaliers to a 6A Division 2 State Championship for the first time in school history this past weekend.
He scored a goal late in the state title game against Summer Creek to tie things up, and the Cavaliers won the state title in penalty kicks.
Salem won the MVP of the game, and he told us during one of the team’s practices before the game that this moment had been a long time coming.
