Week 10 – Player of the Week
For her two game performance over three days, NMpreps.com is happy to name Tularosa's Cassie Vickery our Week 10 Player of the Week. The senior guard put up 27 points, 10 steals, and 9 rebounds against Estancia (word is she only played two quarters). She then followed that by posting 26 points in a win against former No. 1 Texico a rematch of last year's 3A state championship.
