Rich Central baseball player Kyle Clark had quite the week.
He went 7-for-7 at the plate, helping the Olympians erase a three-game losing streak and get back to their winning ways.
On Friday he signed a letter of intent to play at Kentucky State University in the fall, and later that day he attended his senior prom.

After Rich Central lost its third game in a row last Monday to Crete-Monee, Clark sparked the offense in a blowout of Rich South on Tuesday, going 4-f0r-4 with four RBIs. Then in Thursday’s home victory over rival Bloom Township, he went 3-for-3 with an RBI and scored a run.
