For the second time this season, Olentangy Orange senior big man Jalen Bethel is the Just Hoops Player of the Week. Receiving 44 percent of more than 14,000 votes, Bethel takes home the honors a week after going for 30 points in a crucial league win over Westerville Central.

Bethel has developed into one of the very best big men in Central Ohio, as the 6-foot-7 senior is a strong finisher and tough rebounder. An aggressive player on both ends of the floor, Bethel has been the key cog for Olentangy Orange's interior offense in a great season for the Pioneers.
