USA TODAY High School Sports Stars of the Week: Sarah Strong, Joyce Edwards, Dylan Harper, Cooper Flagg, Jayden Heavener

The USA TODAY HSS staff’s “Stars of the Week” picks focused on the McDonald’s All-American basketball games, where four headliners caught our collective attention. And what did it take to crack the Top 5 outside the storied hardwood event? Well, notching your 1000th career strikeout (with plenty of the senior season left) is definitely one exclamation-point-level way to do it.

Standing-O to these five high school athletes who put on a show over the past week…

– Sarah Strong, Grace Christian School (N.C.)

– Joyce Edwards, Camden High School (S.C.

– Dylan Harper, Don Bosco Prep (N.J.)
