ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Camden Walker

 Asheboro, boys’ basketball

Walker has been one of the area’s best perimeter shooters and that’s a big plus for the Blue Comets.

The senior guard has increased his production during his senior season. He has been an ideal threat to combine with the interior presence of teammate Jerquarius Stanback.

Walker averages more than 15 points per game. He has been connecting on about three 3-point shots in each game. He’s shooting 83 percent on free throws.

A season ago, he was a key contributor on Asheboro’s team that went undefeated in the Mid-Piedmont Conference regular season.

The Blue Comets, who have regular-season home games remaining Friday night and Tuesday night, entered this week with a 16-3 overall record.
