D6 Athlete of the Week: Annabelle Noelle Cox, Northridge High School

"Annabelle is a senior on our Unified Bowling team, and her steady, consistent presence is one of our team's greatest strengths. She shows up every single week ready to work, never seeking attention or recognition - she just quietly gives her best and leads by example. 

Annabelle is dependable and focused. When she bowls, she takes her time, stays calm under pressure, and shows remarkable determination frame after frame. Her teammates know they can count on her - not just for her performance, but for her kindness and her calm, grounding energy. Even without many words, Annabelle communicates encouragement through high-fives, smiles, and genuine support for others.

Her quiet leadership reflects the true spirit of Unified Sports: teamwork, perseverance, and heart. For her consistency, sportsmanship, and unwavering dedication, Annabelle is truly deserving of Athlete of the Week." - Aimee Anderson, Coach
