MAPLEWOODIAN OF THE YEAR: ZACH DOUBEK

Readers of Maplewoodian.com know the brave, challenging fight that Maplewood Middle Schooler Zach Doubek has been through this year.

When a scary MRSA infection struck last spring, Zach was hit with more than just a difficult medical problem. The dangerous affliction hospitalized him for weeks and sent him into a coma for days.

Only after agonizing weeks of painful recuperation and therapy, that continues today, did Zach beat a true deadly battle. While he still has to undergo rehabilitation and difficult routines, Zach has come out on top.

His courage, strength and inspiration have earned him our first-ever Maplewoodian of the Year.


We awarded Zach with his honor this weekend, along with a $25 gift card to Strawberry Fields.

Congrats Zach, you earned it!
