The September male athlete of the month is a member of the Sacred Heart Football team. He's got size, strength and speed that have made him a force to be dealt with.

His coaches say that most teams Sacred Heart has played try to double-team this player to prevent him from getting to their quarterbacks. This athlete is one of the defensive leaders on a team that in four games is not only undefeated, but in three of those games, helped keep the opponents under 10 pts.

He is in the top-three for tackles, sacks and hurries.

The September Male Athlete of the Month is Nathan Ortynsky.

The September Female Athlete of the month is a multi-sport athlete at Sacred Heart.

She's currently in her first year of high school and is part of the cross country team.

Her coach says she trains very hard, has a great attitude and she is able to keep up with runners several years older than herself.

On the Soccer team she has accounted for nearly 60 per cent of the goals scored by the team.

In 14 games, she has amassed a total of 26 goals.

The Saints #6 has been ripping up the soccer fields around the province this Fall and a common phrase heard at many soccer games is "Watch number six."

The September Female Athlete of the Month is Rita Fetsch.
