PLAYERS OF THE WEEK

BOYS DEION BUFORD-WESSON, JONESBORO, SENIOR

■ There was no better time for the Golden Hurricane’s floor general to step up than the way he did in two crucial road games. Buford-Wesson finished with 25 points in Jonesboro’s 62-45 win over Conway on Jan. 24, but it was his 31-point gem Friday that turned heads and catapulted his team to a 53-44 victory over Little Rock Central at Boone-Fitzpatrick Fieldhouse.

GIRLS KAMIE JENKINS, SOUTHSIDE BATESVILLE, SENIOR

■ The Lady Southerners’ leading scorer put in major work this week with two solid efforts to help keep her team unbeaten in 4A-3 Conference play. She had 16 points, 20 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks in Southside Batesville’s 42-38 win over Wynne on Monday before closing with a 21-point, 15-rebound, 5-block and 3-assist effort during a 61-47 vic- tory over Blytheville on Thursday.
