Cedar Rapids Kennedy senior Zach Daniels is the winner of the Metro Spotlight Award for high school boys this week, the Metro Sports Report announced Sunday.

Daniels has made a name for himself at Kennedy as an elite all-state baseball player, but he's also a successful basketball player for the Cougars and riding an impressive hot streak.

Daniels scored 22 points and had eight steals in a 77-64 loss at Johnston Tuesday night, then he came back three nights later and scored 22 points with six 3-pointers in a clutch 74-61 victory at Cedar Falls Friday.

Daniels is averaging 12 points for Kennedy, with approximately three assists and three steals per game. He scored a season-high 24 points with five assists in a victory over Ames Jan. 10.

Daniels helped the Kennedy baseball team reach the Class 4A state tournament last summer and finish with a 31-7 record. He compiled an 8-1 record and 1.01 ERA as a pitcher, and he hit .467 with 32 RBIs and 22 stolen bases as their second baseman.

Daniels has signed to play baseball at the University of Iowa.
