Girls Player of the Week

McKayla Barber, Columbus East

Barber – a serious McDonald’s/Inside the Game “Player of the Year” candidate has had four outstanding games in the Lady Olympians’ first four contests this season. In victories over Brownstown Central and New Palestine last week, the East senior had two more double-doubles and now has three double-doubles in four games this season. Barber combined to score 44 points and grab 23 rebounds in the two wins as Columbus East improved to 4-0 on the year.

Boys Player of the Week

Tyler Schulze, Scottsburg

Schulze – probably the hardest-working player in Southern Indiana – went on a personal 11-1 run in the third quarter of Scottsburg’s 62-46 win over Scott County-rival Austin on Friday. The senior, who didn’t start because of an injured foot, hit two three-pointers and converted on a three-point play during the Warriors’ run early in the third quarter. Schulze’s streak took the Warriors from five points down to five points up and led to a second half in which they outscored the Eagles 43-25. Schulze finished with a game-high 17 points.
