College Athlete of the Week

This week, we're shining the spotlight on Edwin Moreno from Hartnell's men's soccer team. He delivered an outstanding performance by scoring two goals and providing one assist, helping his squad secure a convincing 3-1 victory over Foothill. This triumph marked Hartnell's fifth consecutive win, showcasing Moreno's pivotal role in their ongoing success. For those new to soccer, 'accounting for' goals and assists simply means he was directly involved in creating scoring opportunities—whether by netting the ball himself or setting up teammates for those crucial moments. It's a testament to his skill and teamwork, and it's easy to see why such contributions can turn a good team into an unstoppable force.
Honorable Mention: Let's give a round of applause to these talented athletes who also stood out in their respective sports. Juliette D’Eliseo made waves in CSUMB volleyball; Julian Vargas excelled in Hartnell men’s cross country; Natalee Morales shone in Hartnell women’s soccer; Cathay Tong dominated CSUMB women’s golf; Dora Roberts impressed in Hartnell volleyball; Colin Huang stood tall in CSUMB men’s golf; Maya Cann delivered in CSUMB volleyball; Sofia Luna lit up Hartnell volleyball; Isidro Flores contributed to Hartnell men’s soccer; Mary Hooper powered through MPC women’s cross country; Alvaro Ruelas ran strong in Hartnell men’s cross country; Eric Vazquez-Acosta made an impact in CSUMB men’s soccer; Yasmin Avalos played brilliantly in Hartnell women’s soccer; and Gabriella Cardenas conquered Hartnell women’s cross country.

But here's where it gets controversial: Imagine a high-profile friendship between a former U.S. president and the head of FIFA influencing the biggest soccer event on the planet—the World Cup. Is this a positive force for global sports, fostering unity and innovation, or does it raise red flags about potential conflicts of interest and political meddling in athletics? And this is the part most people miss: While we celebrate individual athletes like Moreno, debates rage on about whether college players receive fair compensation for their efforts, especially when universities profit immensely from their talents. What do you think—should athletes like these be paid beyond scholarships, or is the current system just fine? Share your thoughts in the comments; I'd love to hear agreements, disagreements, or fresh perspectives on these hot-button topics!
