Girls Athlete of the Week: Deanna Dydynski, Mount Hebron, basketball
The senior forward has been a model of consistency for the No. 4 Vikings, who finished 22-0 in the regular season before defeating Atholton, 47-44, in the Howard County championship game last week. In the win, Dydynski, a four-year starter, scored a team-high 15 points and added five rebounds to lead the way. Trailing 44-43 in the final minute, she drew the attention of three defenders at the top of the key before zipping a pass down low to junior forward Megan Schaaf for an easy lay-in that turned out to be the game-winning basket with 22 seconds left. As the only starter back from last season's team, Dydynski, who averages 12.6 points and six rebounds, has provided strong leadership and a steadying influence for the Vikings, who take a 24-0 record into tonight's Class 2A South semifinal against county rival River Hill. Dydynski, who maintains a 3.64 grade point average and plans to play basketball in college, also was a standout midfielder on the Vikings' field hockey team, earning second-team All-Metro honors.
Others considered // Funmi Alabi, Long Reach, indoor track; Emily Lloyd, Severna Park, swimming; Sarah Lloyd, Severna Park, swimming; Sherrone Vails, Arundel, basketball.
