The athlete of the week goes to Bishop Hendricken senior basketball guard Azmar Abdullah, who has been a force for the defending state champions so far this winter.
The Hawks rolled to an 84-57 win over Cranston East and Abdullah led the way with 33 points and seven three-pointers. The Hawks then turned around to beat rival La Salle 70-68 in an overtime thriller. Abdullah shined again and put up 20 points in the win.

Hendricken entered the holiday break with a perfect 4-0 record, and Abdullah has been the Hawks’ leading scorer. Hendricken returns to the floor for league action when it takes on East Providence next Tuesday.
