ELLIE COOK – FAN VOTE

Union County’s Ellie Cook has been an emerging talent lately in Blairsville. The sophomore guard has averaged 10.5 points per game in a 2-game stretch last week. For Cook, that meant 21 total points and her first-ever BLITZ POW Award.

KENNEDI HENSON – BLITZ PICK

Towns County’s Kennedi Henson has battled through so much adversity in her career. It’s nice to see her having so much success as of late. For the Lady Indians, the senior guard has been phenomenal as is the usual. In 3 games last week, she averaged 19.7 points, 5.7 assists, and 4.7 steals per game. She had totals of 59 PTS, 17 AST, and 14 STL. This is Henson’s fourth career POW award.
