Hoptown’s Mayes selected Player of the Week

Hopkinsville High School senior cross-country runner Lauren Mayes has been selected this week’s Jennie Stuart Orthopedics-Michael Venable State Farm Player of the Week.

Mayes won the Girls’ High School Division race last weekend at the Louisville Cross Country Meet at Tom Sawyer State Park.

The Hoptown senior claimed her third win of the 2025 cross country season with a time of 20:44, nearly a minute ahead of the second-place finisher.
