Each week throughout the season, The Aegis will select players of the week in each spring sport. The public will then have the opportunity to vote which of the individual sport selections will earn the honor of overall Harford County Player of the Week. Voting will run through the end of the day Tuesday and readers can vote once per hour.
Here are the Athletes of the Week for April 14-20.

Swartzendruber scored eight goals in three games last week, all Fallston victories, to push the Cougars to 10-1 on the season.
