Hamilton Township basketball player Alexis Wooten was selected the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center Girls Athlete of the Week for Jan. 12-18.
In three games, Wooten averaged: 26.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 4.7 steals. She also scored her 1,000th career point against Walnut Ridge.
Wooten received 97.6% of the vote and was followed by Licking Heights basketball player Layla Booth.
In two games, Booth had 37 points, 18 rebounds and six steals. She shot 50% from the 3-point line and 84% from the foul line.
The Athlete of the Week voting recognizes athletes across all sports.
Nominations are due Monday mornings for competitions that took place the previous week. The boys poll is live until 4 p.m. Fridays. The girls poll is live until 4 p.m. Saturdays.
Anyone can nominate an athlete by email to bwhite1@dispatch.com or through X (formerly Twitter) tagging @BrianWhite13.
Once athletes win during the regular season, they’re not eligible to be back on the ballot until the postseason. Athletes who have not been a recipient of one of the weekly awards can be nominated more than once.
