It may seem like a broken record, but St. John's junior Vanessa Kresin has been named the NCKS Sports.com/Cunningham Telephone & Cable Athlete of the Week once again. Hard not to be named the athlete of the week after her near triple-double on Friday. 
   

Kresin helped lead the Lady Jays to three victories over the past week including an incredible performance last Friday in Beloit against state-ranked Quivira Heights. Vanessa had 39 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, and went a perfect 15 of 15 at the free throw line to beat the #8 ranked team in the state, 66-54.

Kresin followed up that with a solid 16 point, 4 rebound, 5 assist, 5 steal performance in a 42-41 victory over Rock Hills in what could have determined the Pike Trail League title.

On the season, Kresin is averaging 19.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 5.2 steals per contest and shooting 76% from the charity stripe.

Others nominated and deserving of recognition.
