Fredericktown’s Reutzel on Applebees of Farmington Athlete of the Week

(Fredericktown) Fredericktown sophomore P.J. Reutzel is our Applebees of Farmington Athlete of the Week. She helped the Blackcats basketball team snap a six game losing streak to start the Central Christmas tournament and then led Fredericktown to a second round upset of the 4th ranked Central Rebels in the semifinals. Reutzel hit a game winning three with seconds left to beat Central. We asked her about the play…

P.J. averaged 18 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists to help Fredericktown finish as the runner up. She says she always tries to impact the game in a positive way…

As our Applebees of Farmington Athlete of the Week Reutzel gets a t-shirt, a certificate and a coupon good for an entree at Applebees in Farmington. The Blackcats next game is next Thursday at Farmington. We’ll broadcast that game on AM 800 KREI.
