Ellie Cook is the TeamFYNSports Writer’s Player of the Week for the Lady Panthers!

Cook, a freshman point guard, has been steady in her first varsity season, helping the team set up on offense and providing strong defensive support.

Cook hit a 3-pointer in a loss to Fannin Co. on Saturday, Dec. 7. She scored six points the night before in a 52-24 win against Towns Co. in Blairsville, and put up nine points Tuesday, Dec. 3, in a 67-46 victory against Tallulah Falls at home.

Head coach Crystal Beach said Cook has been important so far this season in crucial moments.

“She didn’t have her best day against Fannin Co., so there are obviously some growing pains there for a freshman, but she has come through for us in some key spots already this season and has really played well,” Beach said.

For her efforts, Cook is the TeamFYNSports Writer’s Player of the Week for the Lady Panthers!

To be considered for the TeamFYNSports Writer’s Player of the Week, a player must play in all games the team plays during that week and must not have any unsportsmanlike conduct (ejections, etc.). Stats considered for Player of the Week run from Monday through Saturday, with Player of the Week being selected Sunday each week.
