I had pretty much made up my mind that whoever stood out the most in the much-anticipated battle between the Edmond North and Edmond Santa Fe girls was going to win this week’s honor.

And as soon as the game was over, well, I knew I had my winner. Could there really have been another selection than Santa Fe’s Jimi Blagowsky? For her phenomenal outing, she is the Edmond schools Player of the Week.

It didn’t feel like a regular season game inside that gym Friday. It was an electric atmosphere that only serves a harbinger of things to come.

Blagowsky scored 24 points, and more than that, helped keep the team focused through a rough first half. The team looks to her for leadership, and she comes through.

We’re going to see how much leadership the team really has as it would only be natural for a letdown against Putnam City on Tuesday.
