Eli Roth, a senior co-captain soccer player for Acalanes High School was named the Bay Area News Group boys high school athlete of the week for Dec. 5-10 after receiving 39.24% of the vote by the public.
In Acalanes' last three games against Newark Memorial, Foothill and Granada, all victories, Ross scored five goals and had three assists
Head coach Paul Curtis had no argument with the choice of Roth. "He's really positive with his teammates," Curtis said. "He shows excellent leadership and is a great representative of the community."
With the team's 6-1 record, Roth acknowledged the overall play of the team. "We've been working hard and it's all come together," Roth said. "I just happen to be the one that's been scoring the goals. I give my thanks to the team and the people who voted for me."
Roth is the second athlete from Lamorinda to have won this award. Campolindo quarterback Dashiell Weaver won the award in November.
