This was the second to last full week of the regular season so, of course, the stakes were raised a bit with some teams hoping for a late push to secure playoff berths and others jockeying for seeding. Within that grind were several excellent individual performances, producing for us 12 candidates for Girls Basketball Player of the Week, presented by White Plains Hospital.
Our previous poll winners this season were Abby Nadborny (Scarsdale), Maria Ribeiro (Hen Hud), Jade Jackson (White Plains), Phoebe Greto (Rye), Riley Waters (Lakeland), Peyton Forde (Harvey School), Elyse Smith (Hen Hud) and Eliana Contreras (Somers).
Read below about what the nominees accomplished last week, then cast your votes. The poll will be open until 3 p.m. Wednesday and the winner will be featured on lohud sports social media accounts.
