MOUNTAIN TOP SPORTS: Dingess earns Athlete of the Week honor

Upcoming sophomore Brady Dingess is one of the hardest working athletes you’ll find during the off season.

His love for the sport runs deeper than just the time spent playing throughout the winter months.

The Paintsville guard has been busy working on his physical shape, conditioning and sharpening his fundamental skills. He has boosted his weight from 138 pounds to 168 since the post season.

Dingess, who averaged nearly 10 points as a freshman this past season, has been honored as Mountain Top Sports’ Athlete of the Week.

He will look to help his team improve on last year’s 19-8 mark. Paintsville lost out to Pikeville in the 15th Region tournament.

Coaches are reminded if you have athletes working this off season let us know about it. Send those comments to teddy@mountain-topmedia.com
