Muddy Night Hoops’ Starry Star of the Week

QUINCY — Each week during Muddy Night Hoops powered by Farm & Home Supply — a 90-minute talk show centered on prep basketball — the Starry Star of the Week will be presented to one area student-athlete. Sponsored by Refreshment Services Pepsi, the Starry Star of the Week looks to highlight someone who did something extraordinary for their team.

Below is a look at the award’s recipients:

Week 1 — Central-Southeastern senior forward Lauren Miller

Miller led the Panthers to a historic title run at the State Farm Holiday Classic, scoring 20 or more points in each of the four games as CSE won the small school girls bracket championship for the third consecutive year. CSE became just the second team in Classic history to win three consecutive championships. Miller was named to the all-tournament team after scoring 99 points in four games, including 29 in the title game against Bloomington Central Catholic.

Week 2 — Mendon Unity junior forward Sawyer Allen

Allen hit the game-winning shot with 2.3 seconds remaining in regulation of a 62-61 victory Griggsville-Perry. He finished with a game-high 32 points. This bookended a week that began by scoring a game-high 27 points in an overtime loss to Payson Seymour in the championship game of the MVIT. Allen was named to the all-tournament team.
