The Star’s athlete of the week for Nov. 19
Roman Pena
SCHOOL: Lee's Summit
YEAR: Senior
SPORT: Soccer
Pena saved his best goalkeeping performance for the final game of his high school career, and it lifted Lee's Summit to its first Missouri Class 4 boys soccer state title. After Lee's Summit and Chaminade fought to a scoreless tie through two overtime periods on Saturday, Pena stoned Chaminade's fifth penalty-kick attempt before stepping to the dot and converting the game-winning strike. Pena recorded his 11th shutout of the season.
