The holiday season brought out the best in Bucks County athletes, who delivered quality performances in basketball, wrestling, and track and field.

From clutch game-winners to record-breaking feats, these athletes showcased their talent and determination.

In boys’ basketball, Central Bucks East’s AJ Molnar stole the show with a buzzer-beating steal and layup, where they secured a dramatic 48-47 victory over CB West.

Neshaminy’s Logan Gale was another star, scoring a game-high 22 points in a commanding win over Harry S. Truman.

Pennsbury’s Max Manga dominated with 18 points and 13 rebounds, leading his team to a 60-56 win at the Modie Risher Holiday Tournament.

Girls’ basketball had its share of excitement, too. Lily Milewski of Conwell-Egan hit a major milestone and scored her 1,000th career point in a 26-point effort against Archbishop Ryan.

Neshaminy’s Ashlyn Duffy broke the program record for 3-pointers in a game, draining nine en route to a career-high 29 points and earning MVP honors at the Hilltop Classic.

On the wrestling mat, Hatboro-Horsham’s Dominick Morrison pinned his way to the 114-pound title at the Ralph Wetzel Holiday Tournament.

For the girls, Souderton’s MacKenna Atkinson earned a 235-pound championship with three pins, including a lightning-fast 16-second final match.

Track & field saw record-setting performances, including Destini Smith of Souderton breaking a 21-year-old Pennsylvania state record in the triple jump with a mark of 42-2.75.

Central Bucks East’s Tyler Tomlinson claimed the 3,000-meter title at the Robert J. Burdette Indoor Classic with a blazing time of 8:54.04.

Without question, these inspired performances are why so many of these athletes are being considered for Athlete of the Week honors.

From buzzer-beaters on the court to dominant wrestling matches and track records falling, Bucks County athletes keep showing up in a big way.

So, please take a moment to vote and give them the recognition they’ve earned this holiday season.
