HoopSeen Top-10 GHSA Performers of the Week (Dec. 7-12)
The GHSA action continues to get better and better. This week, we had multiple players reach scoring milestones and other players put on stellar performances. Here are our HoopSeen top-10 performers of the week.
AJ White - Chattahoochee
A week removed from breaking the Chattahoochee all-time scoring record, White scored 33 points in a win over Johns Creek to push him over 2,000 total career points. This is an accomplishment that not many high school players reach. Earlier in the week, White scored 22 points in a win over Cambridge. He continues to show why he is one of the best scorers in the state.
Last week AJ broke the all time scoring record, this week he hit the 2,000 career point milestone. One that not many get to see. Congrats @Ajwhite_1! https://t.co/LKHmh4sJsG
