Rise Up 859 Player of the Week:

Aniyah Carter

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 first week of the season and the votes are in!! Read below about Aniyah Carter, the 859 Player of the Week for this week.

Carter is a player that will get your attention pretty quickly when you watch her play. Her speed and quickness with the ball is special and makes it very difficult for defenders to stay in front of her. After starting the season with a big win over St. Henry, Carter’s team fell short to 2 extremely talented teams. She kept her head held high and never gave up in those losses which helped lead into another regional victory last night over Dixie Heights. Through the first 3 games, Carter was averaging 8 PPG, but she brings much more to the court than scoring alone. Catch Carter’s impressive all-around game this season as her team looks to prove all of the doubters wrong!

Carter received 141 total votes to win the 859 poll.
