Athletes of the week

This week’s players of the week have a Scrimmage Play prize pack headed their way complete with a Scrimmage Play t-shirt, an SP bumper sticker and a free value meal from Chick-fil-A to go with five free milkshakes for their friends, family or even their entourage if they’ve got one already.

Girls athlete of the week: St. Anne’s-Belfield girls basketball’s Sarah Imovbioh. We may all be underrating this whole Sarah Imovbioh thing. The Saints’ junior poured in 34 points and 22 rebounds against St. Catherine’s in the LIS title game, and that’s no fluke performance. That’s only slightly above average. See, Imovbioh, according to the statistics engine at maxpreps.com, is ranked No. 9 in the country in both rebounds and points per game. She’s just one point away from 1,000 career points in just 42 total games. Those are several big reasons why she’s the first repeat winner of the athlete of the week, a well deserved honor.

Boys athlete of the week: Fluvanna County wrestling’s Willie Crawford. Sure, the Scrimmage Play athlete of the week pales in comparison to a state title, but Crawford is a no-brainer here. The Fluvanna senior won his second straight state title in Salem this week, completing an incredible prep career. For more on Crawford’s feat in case you missed it, click here
