Athlete of the Week: House on Fire a Good Thing at Rich Central
Missouri recruit a force on the mound and at the plate as Olympians surge on baseball diamond.
Rich Central baseball player Tyler House exudes confidence. And there is good reason he does, because he is very good.
His swagger has carried over to the rest of his teammates as the Olympians have roared out the gate. And, in recognition of his burning-hot start, House is honored today as the Patch Athlete of the Week.
On Wednesday against Crete-Monee, he helped do something the Olympians have been trying to do unsuccessfully the last couple of seasons--beat the Warriors.

House helped the Olympians do just that as he picked up his second win of the season on the mound. He went the distance while striking out nine in Rich Central's 14-4 win.
He also helped his own cause at the plate, hitting a home run and driving in four runs.
