Jensen Beach's Jonny Dobbs voted TCPalm’s Athlete of the Week

Jensen Beach junior wrestler Jonny Dobbs was voted TCPalm’s Athlete of the Week from March 1-6 on the heels of capturing the 1A state championship at 126 pounds in Kissimmee on March 6.

Dobbs pinned Florida High’s Tyler Reeve in the third period of a very tight match, which led the way for the Falcons, who finished in fourth in 1A, achieving their highest point total in program history.

Dobbs garnered over 4,100 votes and 49 percent of the vote, with fellow Falcon in lacrosse’s Chase Walker finishing as the runner-up with just under 35 percent of the vote.

Vero Beach girls lacrosse’s Emily Adams, Treasure Coast softball’s Alexa Bethel, newly minted state wrestling champion in Fort Pierce Central’s Gabriel Jacas, John Carroll Catholic baseball’s Jay Allen, Vero Beach boys tennis’ Sebastian Mendoza and Okeechobee girls tennis’ Isabella Derigo were also nominated for their performances throughout last week.

TCPalm will hold another vote next week and players are put on the ballot through a combination of research and nominations from coaches each week. Scores are to be submitted to TCsports@tcpalm.com every night and nominations can be submitted to bcooney@gannett.com by 10 a.m. Monday.
