Amon Andrews can really shoot the basketball. 

The Francis Parker of San Diego 6-foot junior guard made 14 3-pointers and scored 56 points over two games to earn a spot on an SBLive performance board. 

Then his numbers got particularly gaudy. 

Andrews amassed an almost ridiculous 95 percent of the vote to win the SBLive Southern California Athlete of the Week award. 

Andrews made 9 of 17 3-point attempts and scored 32 points in a 70-46 win over JW North  after he made 5 of 10 on 3s and scored 24 in an 87-36 win over Foothills Christian. 

For the season, Andrews is averaging 17.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists and has made 76 3-points in 173 attempts (44 percent).
