September 2022 Elite Athletes of the Month
Elite Stone Supply, in conjunction with WBHF and Bartow Sports Zone, presents the ELITE ATHLETES OF THE MONTH. Each month, local high schools are provided the opportunity to name an Elite Athlete of the Month from their varsity programs and present the information on their honoree through Bartow Sports Zone and on 100.3FM and AM1450, WBHF in Cartersville.
The Adairsville High School Elite Athlete of the Month is Griffin Bozeman.
A sophomore member of the Tigers’ cross country and track and field teams, Bozeman is the son of Joseph and Kimberly Janssen.
“After qualifying for the state championship race last year as a freshman, Griffin has continued to apply himself in each workout to improve on what he has already accomplished,” said Adairsville cross country coach John Ford. Bozeman recently made the top ten performers list for all Bartow County runners in his season opening race and has consistently improved his race times.
Cambrie Carrington is the Elite Athlete of the Month at Woodland High School. The daughter of Kristin Matthews and Ronnie Carrington, she is the starting shortstop of the Lady Cats softball team. At this point in the season, the senior has a .367 batting average and a .980 fielding percentage.
“Cambrie is a bright young lady whose personality draws players to her,” said Woodland softball coach Todd Eubanks. “She is the only senior on a very young team and has provided the leadership we’ve needed. Our younger players follow her example both on and off the field.”
Carrington has a 3.7 grade point average and plans to attend a four year college program majoring in sports management.
The Elite Athlete of the Month representing Cartersville High School is Lily Gochee.
A senior co-captain on the Lady Canes’ volleyball team, Gochee is the daughter of Corey and LeAnne Gochee.
The team’s setter, Gochee achieved a career milestone this season.
“Lily has grown so much in her role as co-captain,” said Cartersville volleyball coach Alicen Pearson. “She encourages and motivates her teammates, but also pushes them to their highest potential. Earlier this season, Lily accomplished her 1,000th career assist and she continues to contribute to our team’s success by adjusting her game as needed. She has the discipline and drive to accomplish any goal she sets. I look forward to watching her do great things in the future.”
A member of the Beta Club, National Honor Society, and Mu Alpha Theta, Gochee plans to attend Ole Miss and double major in Psychology.
Alexis Woods is the Cass High School Elite Athlete of the Month.
A senior on the Lady Colonels’ softball team, Woods plays third base and pitches. She also hits at the top of the Cass order carrying a .412 average at the plate. Also a threat on the base paths with her speed, she has been a perfect 10-for-10 in stolen base attempts.
“Alexis is a competitor,” said Cass softball coach Taylor Washington. “She is willing to play wherever her team needs her. Her efforts always put her teammates in their best position to be successful.”
Woods has a 3.7 grade point average and has committed to continue her academic and softball career at Tennessee State University.
