Voting will conclude on Saturday, February 3rd at 11:59 p.m. and the winner will be announced in next week's Plays of the Week poll.
Here are the this week's nominees:
Sadiq White, Myers Park, Breakaway 1-Handed Slam:
Defense often creates offense and it did in this case. Myers Park generated a steal on the defensive end and quickly advanced to a string Sadiq White, in a January 23rd, 79-35, road win over Phillip O. Berry. Needless to say, White knew how to finish.
Desmond Kent Jr. and Josh Dalton, Central Cabarrus, Back-to-Back Jams:
This Play of the Week candidate delivers two for the price of one. First Josh Dalton delivers a perfect outlet pass to Desmond Kent Jr. for a two-handed jam, before Dalton receives a nice feed on the wing and takes it to the iron for a powerful one-handed throw down. The sequence occurred January 23rd during an 88-19 thrashing at South Rowan.
Jazion Willoughby & Jocquez Dixon, Farmville Central, Nifty Assist:
Big dunks and three-pointers often get the loudest cheers, but nothing pleases coach more than a fundamentally sound assist. That’s exactly what Jazion Willoughby delivers for teammate Jocquez Dixon here, as FarmVille Central rolled to a 99-44 romp at home over North Pitt on January 23rd.
Dominique Tshiboyi, East Forsyth, Drive, Assist, Steal and Score:
Locked in a tight fourth quarter battle with 14th ranked Davie County, Dominique Tshiboyi drives the baseline for a score. He then whips the ball inside to create a score for teammate JP Gilchrist, before coming up with a steal on defense and goes down to convert a short jumper. The sequence turned a one-point lead into a seven-point bulge and the Eagles rolled from there, pulling off a 68-51 upset on January 25th.
Grant Dryden, Lake Norman, Buzzer-Beating Three:
Lake Norman senior Grant Dryden doubled his team’s lead with a long three-pointer from the left corner, just ahead of the buzzer at the end of the first quarter. The Wildcats never looked back as they cruised to a 77-58 road win over Hickory Ridge on January 25th.
