Kenzie Ratliff turned in her finest performance on the biggest stage.
An undersized post at 5-foot-9, the Kennedy High School senior scored 25 points on 11 of 17 shooting from the field and had eight rebounds as the Trojans beat Burns 52-32 for the OSAA Class 2A state championship.
She was named first-team all-tournament after averaging 17.7 points and 9.3 rebounds per game.
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.
Ratliff, 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.
