ATHLETES OF THE WEEK

BOYS

Kevin Krouse

SCHOOL: Burroughs

YEAR: Senior

SPORT: Basketball

SEASON AT A GLANCE: Averaging 16.8 points and 8.4 rebounds, the 6-foot-3 Krose has emerged as perhaps the top player in the Foothill League. Whether shooting three-pointers, playing defense, rebounding or running the court, Krose always finds a way to contribute. He’s a valuable swingman who can guard centers and forwards alike.

WEEK AT A GLANCE: Krose helped Burroughs move into a first-place tie with Valencia. He scored 23 points, grabbed eight rebounds and shut down 6-6 Eskias McDaniels in the Indians’ 84-64 victory over Valencia. He scored 17 points as Burroughs defeated Hart, 66-48, for its fifth consecutive Foothill League victory.

GIRLS

Jenna Hunter

SCHOOL: Nordhoff

YEAR: Junior

SPORT: Soccer

SEASON AT A GLANCE: Hunter, one of the region’s top offensive players, has helped revive a moribund Ranger program by scoring 24 goals this season and 46 in the last two. Nordhoff last week captured the first league title in the program’s 17-year history history and after an eight-year absence, will make its second consecutive playoff appearence.

WEEK AT A GLANCE: Hunter scored all of Nordhoff’s goals in a 4-0 defeat of Calabasas, the Rangers’ main Frontier League rival. Two days later, she scored twice more and had two assists in a 4-1 victory over Malibu.
