The BLITZ Girls Basketball Players of the Week are Lilly Abbott (Dawson) and Millie Southards (Rabun). Abbott won the Fan Vote with 16,896 of the 33,271 total votes. Southards was the BLITZ Picks.
LILLY ABBOTT – DAWSON COUNTY
Lilly Abbott has become the future and the now for Dawson County. The sophomore guard averaged 12.7 points, 8.7 boards, and 2.7 steals over a 3-game stretch last week for the #8-ranked Lady Tigers. This is her second POW award.
MILLIE SOUTHARDS – RABUN COUNTY
Millie Southards from game one to game 15 or so has already taken huge strides and plays like an upperclassman. The freshman had 19 points, nine rebounds, and nine steals against Commerce in a comeback win in overtime – which was a crucial region victory. With her near triple-double, she also had time to collect three assists. This is her second POW award.
