Bryant Kimbrell, a graduated senior for the Pinecrest baseball team, is Athlete of the Week.
Kimbrell won Athlete of the Week after the Patriots got off to a 4-0 start to the season.
Neither he nor Pinecrest slowed down after that burst out of the gate. The Patriots finished with a 24-5 record and won the Sandhills with an 11-1 league record.
Kimbrell led the team with seven home runs, 35 RBIs and a .777 slugging percentage. He was also among team leaders in average and OBP. On the mound, he had an ERA below 1.00.
In addition to winning all-conference honors, Kimbrell was recently honored by the North Carolina Baseball Coaches Association, who put him on their 4A all‑state team.
