Wings Over Broadway Southern Arizona Boys Hoops Player of the Week: Salpointe’s Grant Weitman


Salpointe senior guard Evan Nelson gets most of the notoriety for the 22-1 Lancers, and rightfully so because he is a Division I talent headed to Harvard, but not to be overlooked is senior guard Grant Weitman.

Weitman, instrumental in wins over Sahuaro and Flowing Wells last week, is the AllSportsTucson.com Wings Over Broadway Southern Arizona Boys Hoops Player of the Week.

Salpointe is 22-1 overall and 5-1 in the 4A Kino. The Lancers have three games this week, including a much-anticipated rematch with Catalina Foothills on Friday at Salpointe.

The Falcons (21-1, 7-0) knocked Salpointe from the unbeatens on Jan. 21 with a 70-67 win at Catalina Foothills.
