Players of the Week Week 2 of Prep Basketball Season

HONORABLE MENTION: Central Lafourche junior Jamiree Williams— People are sort-of forgetting about Central Lafourche boys’ basketball after the Trojans lost a few key seniors to graduation. But Williams is a new face who has thrived. He scored 17 points to beat Ellender this past week.

BRONZE: Ellender guard Terris McKay— Ellender, as always, possesses one of the top girls’ basketball teams in the Houma-Thibodaux area. McKay is one of the reasons why. She’s among the top defensive players in the area. At the Donaldsonville Tournament this past week, she led all players in steals.

SILVER: South Lafourche guard Traya Bruce— The Lady Tarpons junior guard was wonderful this past week at the Sacred Heart Tournament, navigating her team to an undefeated week against quality competition. Bruce is a threat to score 20 points from the minute she walks onto the floor. She’s a great player.

GOLD: Thibodaux’s boys’ basketball team— The Tigers were somewhat of an afterthought in their own tournament, surrendering the attention and hype to Ellender, Central Lafourche and others at the Tiger Thanksgiving Classic. But Thibodaux overcame its underdog status and won the tournament, posting a 3-0 record and victories over the powerhouses to earn the title.
