Emily Thornton's Record Setting Week Earns Her Athlete of the Week

Emily Thornton had a week to remember as she broke the all time assists mark in Alabama Christian history. Thornton passed the 3,000 assist plateau against Catholic on Tuesday, becoming just the 21st player in the state to ever break that mark and only the fourth player from the Montgomery area. On Saturday, at the Shrimp Fest Invitational in Gulf Shores, Thornton broke the school record with her 3,099th assist against Fairhope and finished the day with 3,122 assists. Thornton is currently ranked 17th in state history for career assists.
