Julia Dufurrena, a junior on the varsity girls basketball team, has been selected Athlete of the Week.

Dufurrena has been playing on the varsity girls team for three years, since she was a freshmen at Lowry High School . She is the team captain and is the team’s top post player. Last year she won awards for first-team all-state, first-team all-league, and Lowry MVP.

Dufurrena has had a double-double in most of her games, which is making double-digit points and double-digit rebounds during a game, an amazing achievement for any basketball player.

Coach Jack Smith said, “Julia is getting 10 points per game and 10 rebounds per game.”

Come and watch Dufurrena and the varsity girls team battle it out with the Spring Creek Spartans next Tuesday, February 1.
