A’Nyzhon “Bam” Purnell is the Ledger-Enquirer High School Boys Athlete of the Week, based on our online poll.
As a sophomore guard on the Chattahoochee County High School boys basketball team, Bam was selected as Region Defensive Player of the Year. He finished the season ranked among the top 10 in the state in steals (4.5 per game). He also averaged 16 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds per game on a team that went 29-2 and made it to the GHSA Class A Final Four.
