Rilynn Porter, Jayna Burmeister, and Adam Dugener each put together a Player-of-the-Week type stretch, but they did it in different ways: Porter dominated all three phases with two near-20 point games and a rare triple-double highlighted by 11 steals; Burmeister overwhelmed opponents with elite three-game volume (67 points, 44 rebounds) plus a 22/16/6-steal statement performance; and Dugener blended scoring with playmaking and defense, pairing a 22-point headline game with an all-around 22/7/9/4 line that shows complete control. Now it’s your turn to decide: who earns Player of the Week?

Rilynn Porter – Hart Girls Basketball
Porter’s week is the definition of “fills the box score.” Across three games she was consistently near 20 points, then capped it with a triple-double: 20 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals (Game 1), 19 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals (Game 2), and 16 points, 12 rebounds, 11 steals, 4 assists (Game 3). That last line is the separator — a triple-double powered by 11 steals is a rare, game-controlling performance that impacts every possession.
Jayna Burmeister – Shelby Girls Basketball
Burmeister’s case is built on high-volume production over multiple games. In a three-game span she totaled 67 points (22.3 per game) and 44 rebounds (14.7 per game), and she backed that up with a single-game takeover line of 22 points, 16 rebounds, and 6 steals. That combination of scoring, rebounding dominance, and disruptive defense is exactly what Player of the Week awards are meant to recognize.
Adam Dugener – North Muskegon Boys Basketball
Dugener has the strongest boys résumé in the window because he’s not just scoring — he’s running the game. In the recap, he led North Muskegon with 22 points in a lopsided win over Hesperia. Your added stat line makes it even stronger: 22 points, 7 assists, 9 rebounds, and 4 steals, showing he controlled pace, created for teammates, cleaned the glass, and generated turnovers — the kind of complete performance that drives winning.
