Rise Up 502 Player of the Week

Sponsored by Community Trust Bank:

Abby Reitzel

Each week throughout this season, Rise Up will feature a Player of the Week from each of the 4 main area codes across the state. We just wrapped up the seventh week of the season and the votes are in!! Read below about Abby Reitzel, the 502 Player of the Week for this week.


Reitzel was a huge piece for the Jags as a freshman, so she definitely was used to playing big minutes, but this year, her role looks much different. She is now the go-to player as she is Mercy’s leading scorer and 3-point shooter. Reitzel is averaging 15 PPG and shooting 37.8% from 3, including 2.3 made 3-pointers per game. She also is hitting 2.7 free throws per game and shooting 78.2% from the charity stripe. The skill has always been there for the sophomore, but now she is getting more comfortable and confident in being the leader for her team. Reitzel has a very bright future ahead!

Reitzel received 112 votes to win the 502 poll this week.
