Isaac Holmes

If you follow Monroe County prep sports, you know Coral Shores’ Isaac Holmes is a talented basketball player. On Oct. 28, it was clear that he is a multisport force of nature. In the Oct. 28 game against Ransom Everglades, Holmes stepped up as a leader, playing out of position to fill in as the Hurricanes’ quarterback for much of the game. When the clock hit zeroes, Holmes was two for three in his passing attempts for 59 yards and had six rushes for 55 yards and a touchdown on the ground. He also had 34 receiving yards for the night. 

And that was just on offense. 

Defensively, Holmes had five tackles, three of which were for a loss, and six defensive pressures to his credit. He capped off his stats with an interception, which he carried 51 yards for a pick-6 and his second touchdown of the night. For his phenomenal gameplay and willingness to take on a leadership role, Isaac Holmes is the Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.

Isaac continues to strive for excellence in every game situation.
