After pacing the Lady Rams with 10 points in its 51-19 victory over Druid Hills Tuesday night, Newton senior Mercedes Booker has been named the Newton Athlete of the Week.

Booker led a balanced scoring effort against the Lady Red Devils, helping Newton to its sixth region victory of the season.

Booker has helped Newton win its last three games during a three-game home stand.

Game time is set for 6 p.m.

Newton will be off for a week after taking on the Wildcats tonight and will return to action against region rival Alcovy on Jan. 24
