WICHITA FALLS ( KFDX/KJTL ) — To continue celebrating our Texoma Talent, we’ve decided to award one recipient of the weekly Athlete of the Week spot a scholarship for their passion, discipline, and sportsmanship.

Each Athlete of the Week throughout this school year will become eligible to win a $1,000 scholarship thanks to United Regional Orthopedics.

We will announce a winner at the Nexstar Sports Awards next July after a random draw from all the weekly winners.

The only catch is that the athlete, an athlete’s parent, or a representative from their school must be present. So be sure to make plans to attend the Nexstar Sports Awards next July to see who wins our weekly Athlete of the Week honor.

So far, the nominees are the five winners from the 2024-2025 academic year:

Joe Castles, Memorial High School football
Lyndee Brown, Henrietta High School volleyball
Brayden Loyd, Seymour High School football
Tru Gipson, Vernon High School football
Lillian Noble, Graham High School volleyball

Lyndee Brown, of the Henrietta Lady ‘Cats, was named Athlete of the Week on Aug. 20.
Lillian Noble, of the Graham Lady Steers, was named Athlete of the Week on Aug. 26.
Brayden Loyd, of the Seymour Panthers, was named Athlete of the Week on Sept. 2.
Joe Castles, of the Memorial Mavericks, was named Athlete of the Week on Sept. 16.
Tru Gipson, of the Vernon Lions, was named Athlete of the Week on Sept. 9
Desmond Whiteside, of the City View Mustangs, was named Athlete of the Week on Sept. 23.
Athlete of the Week is presented by United regional Orthopedics

To nominate an athlete from your school, send a headshot, action picture, and the athlete’s statistics or accomplishments from the past week to Tobin McDuff .

The weekly nominations must be received by Sunday night at 9 p.m. to be considered.
