Sydney Hunter (left) was chosen as the Statesman Journal athlete of the week.
Sydney Hunter is the definition of hard to defend.
The junior has a rare combination of size – 6-foot-1 – plus athleticism ,combined with the ability to shoot the ball from the perimeter as well as inside.
Hunter scored 19 points in Tuesday’s 53-42 win against West Salem and scored 17 points in Friday’s 69-16 win against McKay.
She was chosen as the athlete of the week by readers of the Statesman Journal through online vote on the Statesman Journal’s Facebook Page.
Hunter is the younger sister of Oregon State standout Deven Hunter.
She, and the rest of the athletes of the week, will be honored during the first Mid-Valley Sports Awards show on June 7 at the Salem Convention Center. Terry Bradshaw will be the keynote speaker.
