Olivia Tolmen 2/14/15
Our Tyler Roth/WKVI Athlete of the Week for this week is Olivia Tolmen, a member of the Girls Basketball team at South Central High School.
Olivia had the play of the year for her team as the #5 ranked Lady Stellites defeated the #4 ranked Culver Lady Cavaliers on a last second shot 38-37.
With 1.7 seconds left to play and the Satellites trailing by a single point, Olivia was assigned the task of making a full-court pass to a teammate to try for the game-winning field goal. Despite the Lady Cavs’ defense doubling up near the basket, the 5-8 sophomore threw a pin-point pass to Riley Popplewell, who scored the game-winning basket as time expired.
In addition to her clutch pass, Olivia scored 4 points and followed that with 5 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 steals in the Satellite win over Triton, which advanced them to the Sectional Championship game for the first time since 2006.
Olivia is the daughter of Jud and Althea Tolmen.
Congratulations to Olivia Tolmen of South Central High School, our Tyler Roth/WKVI Athlete of the Week.
