Congratulations to Sandpoint guard Aliya Strock for being voted SBLive’s WaFd Bank Idaho High School Athletes of the Week for Dec. 4-Dec. 9!
The reigning 4A Inland Empire player of the year knows a thing or two about how to perform in big moments. She converted two free throws late in the state championship game last February to wrap up the Bulldogs' title - and earlier this momth, she tallied an efficient 21 points on 9-of-15 shooting, including a pair of 3-pointers, as Sandpoint tripped up Class 5A state champion Coeur d'Alene, 53-49. She currently leads the squad with a 17.3 points-per-game average.
Strock collected 50.0% of the overall vote.
