  • Player of the Week: Devonte Williamson

    Helping the Falcons to its first Union County championships since 2010, Ingomar’s Devonte Williamson earns Player of the Week honors, particularly for his performance against East Union.

    Against the Urchins last Friday, Williamson dropped 22 points in the 65-60 semifinal win.
    “He’s our emotional and energy leader on the team,” Ingomar head coach Jonathan Ashley said. “He leads us by example, and he hustles on every play. He’s a hard nosed player and consistently performs well for us.”
