La Salle senior Andrew Boecking is SBLive's Southern California Athlete of the Week (Oct. 20-22)

Defensive end puts up huge numbers on the field and even bigger totals on the voting front to earn the weekly award

Andrew Boecking simply could not be contained. 

The 6-foot-2, 220-pound tight end and defensive end had been having a fine senior season at La Salle-Pasadena, but then he outdid himself during a 42-28 win over St. Genevieve on Oct. 21. 

Boecking doubled his sack total for the season with five to go along with 12 tackles in the Lancers' fifth win in seven weeks. 

The performance earned him a spot on the SBLive Performance List.

Then he went out and accumulated more big numbers on the voting front to earn the SBLive Southern California Athlete of the Week for games played Oct. 13-15. 

Boeckling, also a standout baseball player, piled up a remarkable 22,688 votes to snag just over 50 percent of the total vote with 22 other candidates. 

He beat out Aiden Ramos, who rushed for 177 yards and four touchdowns for Bishop Amat in a game versus Notre Dame-Sherman Oaks. Ramos earned nearly 40 percent of the vote with 17,657, but it wasn't good enough to knock off Boecking.
