Friendship Christian girls basketball star is N&O Athlete of the Week
Friendship Christian basketball player Teja Harrison is News & Observer high school athlete of the week.

Harrison, a four-year starter, played out of position to help her team rebound, as the team was without their top post player, according to Friendship Christian girls’ basketball coach Ric Nelson.
