High school sports are a cornerstone of community spirit here on the Treasure Coast, and the latest round of performances has highlighted the incredible talent residing in our local schools. The TCPalm Boys Athlete of the Week poll is currently active, seeking to recognize standout student-athletes who excelled between January 5 and January 10. This week’s list of nominees features impressive achievements in basketball, soccer, and wrestling, with a specific spotlight on a standout senior from Vero Beach High School.
For residents of Indian River County, the nomination of Brandon James offers a chance to support local talent. A senior at Vero Beach High School, James has been a driving force on the basketball court. His recent performance was instrumental in securing two victories for his team.
Brandon James (Vero Beach) averaged 20.5 points and 5.0 rebounds per game to lead his squad to a pair of wins. Notably, he shot an impressive 59 percent from the field during this stretch.
While James represents Vero Beach, the competition across the wider Treasure Coast region is stiff. The poll includes athletes from St. Lucie and Martin counties who have posted remarkable statistics in their respective sports.
