Girl Athlete of the Week (Feb. 17): Kolbi Green, McDonogh

McDonogh guard Kolbi Green is the Athlete of the Week. (Baltimore Sun)

The sophomore guard nailed three straight free throws with no time left in regulation to tie the Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland A Conference basketball championship and spark No. 1 McDonogh's 59-52 win over No. 2 Roland Park Sunday night. After Roland Park took a three-point lead with two seconds left, Green, who had already made three 3-pointers, was fouled on an attempt from the corner as time expired. She finished with 13 points, three assists and three steals in the victory that gave the Eagles back-to-back A Conference titles. She also had 11 points, two assists and four steals in the 57-41 semifinal win over No. 3 St. Frances and 14 points, two assists and four steals in the 51-14 quarterfinal win over St. Vincent Pallotti. As the Eagles prepare to defend their title at the Bishop Walsh Girls Invitational Tournament March 5-7, Green is averaging 10 points, 2.5 assists and 3.2 steals per game. A veteran of the Team Takeover Amateur Athletic Union team, she also plays volleyball and runs track. Green has a 3.3 GPA.
