Continue ReadingThe winner of the player of the week voting for week 7 of the high school season is Abbey Guidry of Rock Creek Academy. Whitaker received 918 votes on the poll, good for 52.76% of the total vote. She scored 30 points vs. Christian Academy and the following game she scored 20 points vs. Charlestown.
Guidry’s senior campaign is off to a stellar start. Rock Creek Academy is 2-11 as a team, but Guidry is playing some of the best basketball of her life.
“I am having a great season so far,” Guidry said. “I am averaging about twenty-two points a game. I plan on breaking my school record that I set last year for season total points. I also anticipate to reach my one thousandth career point.”
Guidry set the school scoring record with 369 points last year. That ended a single season record that stood for 15 years. Guidry is well on pace to break that record and is currently 72 points away from reaching 1000 for her career.
She is really starting to dominate playing on the ball and her facilitating is coming along nicely. Guidry is a very capable ball handler and you can trust her to run the point guard position with a bit of pressure in her face. Guidry is a good shooter and can pour in those 15 to 18 foot shots all night long.
As a lefty, Guidry is continuing to work on her scoring ability and her ability to play with her right hand. Guidry is really working on her outside shot, something that could take her game to the next level. Guidry’s game has came a long way this season, as evidenced by her play last week, but she isn’t close to scratching the surface of her game.
This past week of play has been something that Guidry has been consistently doing all year long. She has been contacted by D3 schools such as Centre and Rose-Hulman. She wants to go to a military academy to play basketball, but she is keeping her options open at this time. If Guidry keeps this play up, college basketball is surely in her future.
