As schools approached the holiday break, several teams participated in competitive tournaments, some even traveling to face high-level opponents from other regions, and others had intense matchups with local rivals. Within that, there were a bevy of noteworthy performances, which produced for us 11 candidates for Girls Basketball Player of the Week, presented by White Plains Hospital.
Last week’s poll winner was Scarsdale freshman Abby Nadborny.
