This week’s Athlete of the Week winners earned the honor after high-scoring games for their team in the final week of the regular season. 

These athletes also contributed more than just points. Both players made contributions on the glass and defense.

Voting for Athlete of the Week runs from 10 a.m. Saturday to 10 a.m. Monday each week at lexingtonchronicle.com/athleteoftheweek.

Hilton Dessausure

Northside Christian’s Hilton Dessausure had an impressive game against Palmetto Christian Academy that earned him male Athlete of the Week. 

The junior guard scored 20 points and added seven rebounds, five assists, two steals and a block in 20 minutes of playing time to lead his team to a 73-41 win over the Eagles. 

Dessausure has been a valuable piece of a well-balanced Crusaders offense. He is averaging just over 13 points this season, which is second on the team. 

The Crusaders earned their first undefeated region season and captured their second title. The SCISA basketball playoffs are scheduled to begin on Friday.

Avery Campbell

Gilbert’s Avery Campbell was voted Athlete of the Week after having her biggest scoring performance of the season. 

Campbell scored 15 points and added 11 rebounds to secure her first double-double. Her performance lifted Gilbert to a 63-35 win over Dreher. 

The freshman followed that game up with another solid outing in the team’s regular-season finale against Swansea. She scored eight points and added six rebounds to help her team end the season on a high note. 

Campbell’s increased contributions are coming at a crucial time as Gilbert was set to begin its playoff journey this week.
