Chapin, SC (WLTX) --- When you are a team captain of two sports, that carries a lot of weight in the halls of high school and that is the case at Chapin where Devin Lawrence is the reigning News19 Player of the Week.
Lawrence has lettered in both football and wrestling and as a senior, was voted team captain in both.
On the mat, Lawrence finished second in the 2011 state wrestling tournament and so far in 2012, he is unbeaten.
In the classroom, Devin's quest for excellence is as consistent as it is in sports. He is a constant on the Honor Roll and for the past three years, Devin has been a recipient of the Presidential Academic Award.
A member of the Beta Club and the National Honor Society, Devin will attend USC where he will major in engineering.
When asked where he gets his desire to succeed, Devin credits his grandfather for inspiring him. No doubt Devin also inspires his fellow students at Chapin, another reason why he is a News19 Player of the Week.
