Vote for the Argus Leader Athlete of the Week for March 11-17

Last week brought plenty of impressive performances on the hardwood.

Throughout the season, the Argus Leader will be picking finalists for its Athlete of the week. The winner will be chosen by you. Vote now in the poll below:

Landon Dulaney, G, Brandon Valley

Dulaney’s versatility was a huge part of the Lynx’s run to the AA state championship. He scored a game-high 18 points in Brandon Valley’s quarterfinal win against Huron and grabbed 11 rebounds in their semifinal win over Harrisburg. But the most impressive part of Dulaney’s postseason run was his two-way effort. He guarded three of the best players in the state and still had the energy to be a threat offensively.

Thomas Hoffman, G, Washington

Hoffman and the Warriors grew a lot as a team in this year’s AA state basketball tournament. The junior guard took over late against Roosevelt to advance to the semifinals against Mitchell, scoring seven points in the fourth quarter. Washington placed fourth in the state tournament.

Jacoby Mehrman, G, Harrisburg

Mehrman helped guide the Tigers to a third-place finish in the state tournament and was awarded the Class AA Spirit of Su. He opened the tournament with a game-high 27 points on 8-of-15 shooting over Watertown. He scored 15 and had some timely buckets against Brandon Valley, but the Tigers came up just short.

Josh Olthoff, C, Brandon Valley

Olthoff has been Brandon Valley’s offensive focal point for years and was huge in the Lynx's deep run to the state tournament. The senior center had a slow start but played well when it mattered most. Olthoff scored 20 points against Harrisburg and had 13 points and 7 rebounds in the championship game against Mitchell.

Dawson Sechser, F, Jefferson

Sechser was one of Jefferson’s most consistent performers in the state tournament this week. He reached double figures in scoring in each of the Cavaliers games and averaged 12.6 points per game. Jefferson won the consolation championship and Sechser made the All-Tournament team.
