Eastside High School’s Jonas Kelsey is the GreerNews.com Athlete of the Week, presented by D&D Motors.

Voting opened Monday and remained open until noon on Wednesday. Voters were able to cast a ballot once per day during the campaign.

Kelsey is just a sophomore, but he was crucial in Eastside's come-from-behind 3-2 victory over Riverside on Oct. 23 to help the Eagles advance to the 5-A D-2 Upper State Championship game. 

Eastside's sophomore setter had 38 assists for the match and several kills in the final two sets, including the final point to clinch a hard-fought win for Eastside. 

Nominees for the week of Oct. 20-26 included Kelsey, Gideon Merhib of Riverside, and Tre' Segarra of Byrnes.
