Beginning this week and continuing throughout the 2011-2012 school year, the Verona Sports Boosters will be recognizing a different senior athlete at Verona High School. The Boosters support male and female athletes in all VHS sports through a variety of fundraisers and recognition events.
The athlete of the week for the week ending September 10 is Verona Hillbillies wide receiver and defensive back Billy Meade. In Saturday’s game against Cedar Grove, he caught two passes for 25 yards and scored a touchdown. Defensively, Meade had three solo tackles and a fumble recovery, and he blocked the Cedar Grove field goal at the end of the game. Meade, who also runs track in the spring, was a strong factor in several Hillbilly games last year, including a close one in New Providence and a romp over Immaculate Conception.
