CHAPEL HILL— Maya McDonald from East Bladen High School and Alex London from Carson High School, have been named recipients of the NCHSAA Performance of the Week award. Each week two athletes in North Carolina High School Athletic Association competition are selected for this award from nominations received from coaches, media, and school administrators.
