YEMCEL MORENO
Coral Shores, Sophomore
Quarterback
Sophomore quarterback Yemcel Moreno has been gaining attention on the football field this season for all the right reasons. On Oct. 7, he ran for 93 yards on just six carries for the Hurricanes in the Battle of the Keys, scoring three touchdowns in the ’Canes big win. Moreno worked his way up the depth chart to become the team’s number one signal caller, earning the role with a fiercely competitive attitude and relentless work ethic. Coach Ed Holly describes Moreno as “unbelievably competitive. He works hard in practice and he pays attention to the little things.” It is the dedication to things like footwork and timing that set him apart in his gameplay, and as Holly puts it, “He’s quickly becoming the leader of the team.” Moreno leads with his actions and does so in a positive manner, which is why he is this week’s Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.
