]]> POTW: Week of December 6-12, 2021 https://courtsideindiana.com/players/potw-week-of-december-6-12-2021/ Wed, 15 Dec 2021 16:22:29 +0000 https://www.courtsideindiana.com/?p=2588 Three weeks in, decided better than never.  Need to get a better grasp of my Mondays.  Lots of good performances this year, including the last week.  Big names.  Other names.  Up and coming names.

Hard to imagine that this week's performance wasn't his best nor his second best. Easy to imagine his production would take a big jump this year with the graduation of so much offensive weaponry from a high pace.

With two 42 point performances during the first week of the season, South Decatur's Hunter Johnson has held firm on his production.  In their over Milan this past week, the 6'2" senior guard put up 39 points, 12 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 assists, making Hunter Johnson the Courtside Indiana Player of the Week, for the week of December 6-12, 2021.

Not going to gloss it over.  He would've been the first week, sooooo congratulations!
