Tenicia Spence, Western, basketball
The junior shooting guard has had her biggest games against some of the No. 3 Doves' toughest opponents this season, including scoring a career-high 16 points in Friday's 60-52 win over then-No. 9 City. Spence, 5 feet 6, scored 11 points in the second half and hit a 3-pointer from the corner midway through the final quarter to give the Doves a 51-47 advantage that City would not make up. Her three 3-pointers helped offset the hot shooting of City guard LaShay Taft, who cut the Western lead to two late in the third quarter only to see Spence answer with her own 3. Spence, who had nine points in the 63-18 win over Patterson last week, averages 8.4 points.
