Each Monday, we’ll post several candidates from the previous week’s games, and we’d like for you — our readers — to select the winner. Voting ends at 5 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 4 and this week’s vote will encompass games played over the two-week Christmas break.
Here are the candidates from Week 5:
Anna Lee Avery, Houston: One of the city’s top seniors, Avery led the Mustangs to a third-place finish at the Milan Classic. In the third-place game, she scored 29 points as Houston held off an improved St. Agnes squad, 56-45.
