Shon Abaev, Boys Basketball, Calvary Christian Academy: Abaev, a junior guard, has been terrific this season for the Eagles. Abaev racked up 24 points in a 79-32 win against American Heritage Delray Beach last week.
Treymar Jones, Boys Basketball, Milton: Despite in a loss, the sharpshooter was on his game as Jones scored a team-high 25 points in a 79-66 loss to Wiregrass Ranch in a region quarterfinal.
Marcus Kelley Jr., Boys Basketball, Mariner: Kelley scored 21 points last week, including the 1,000th of his career, in a playoff win over Northeast. Not too shabby.
Derik Queen, Boys Basketball, Montverde Academy: The talented 6-foot-10 senior from Baltimore recorded a double-double with 14 points and 16 rebounds and added five assists to lead the Eagles past Legacy Early College (South Carolina), 77-40. For good measure, he committed to the University of Maryland this week.

Adrienne Rivera, Girls Flag Football, Fort Pierce Central: The quarterback completed 34-of-47 passes for 504 yards and six touchdowns in two games. Rivera even received an offer from Fort Scott Community College during the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Preseason Kickoff Classic.
Zoe Surrency, Girls Flag Football, Strawberry Crest: Under center for the Chargers, Surrency was a steady hand as she completed 25-of-41 passes for 265 yards and four touchdowns last week in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ classic. Also rushed for 65 yards on the ground.
Demyah Jackson, Girls Flag Football, Oakleaf: Jackson was a sack machine at linebacker over the course of the Jacksonville Jaguars’ preseason classic as she tallied six total sacks for the Knights.
Brooke Zeller, Girls Flag Football, Alachua Santa Fe: With coaches from the U.S.A. National Team looking on, Zeller impressed them tossing the rock. The signal caller threw for six touchdowns and converted multiple extra points with one tipped interception last week.
