Spencer County running back Branden Leff rushed for 344 yards and three touchdowns against Franklin County, a performance good enough to earn Class 4A’s top rusher The Courier-Journal Metro Louisville Athlete of the Week Award presented by Norton Sports Health.
Last week’s other nominees were Oldham County cross country runner Jacob Brizendine, Assumption volleyball player Brooke Moore and Pleasure Ridge Park football player B.J. Robinson.
