CLEVELAND, Ohio – Here are the latest boys basketball top performances nominated for “Game Balls” from Feb. 6 to 12.

Players are nominated by coaches and selected by the cleveland.com staff. Voting is open until noon Friday.

Cartier Bickley, Archbishop Hoban: A 6-foot-3 senior forward, Bickley produced in ways that do not show up in a box score. He was the Knights’ second-leading scorer Tuesday in a 59-57 loss at rival St. Vincent-St. Mary. The Knights lost forward Brian Cuppett to an ankle injury in that game, so Bickley followed Friday with a season-high 18 points and three 3-pointers in a win at Lake Catholic. The effort helped Hoban clinch the North Coast League Blue Division. Bickley has a 3.4 grade-point average.

Sincere Carry, Solon: The Comets’ 6-foot junior point guard concluded his week with 38 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists and five steals Saturday in a 90-80 loss at St. Ignatius. A night earlier, Carry had 25 points, six rebounds and five assists in an 84-81 win vs. Euclid. See Carry in action earlier this season in the video below. Highlights, where available, are included for players receiving “Game Balls.”

Dorian Crutcher, Elyria Catholic: The family lineage is strong in Elyria, particularly with this 6-3 junior guard. His father, Nate, starred at defunct Elyria West in the mid-1990s. Last week, Dorian gave Elyria Catholic two 20-point games in wins that helped the Panthers bounce back from a buzzer-beating loss to rival Elyria. First Tuesday, Crutcher scored 26 points, seven rebounds and three assists in a 70-45 win against Rocky River. He followed with 22 points, eight rebounds and five assists in an 82-67 win against Bay that included 25 points from Sean Szabo. Crutcher is averaging 19.8 points and 6.2 rebounds. He has made 44 shots beyond the 3-point line.

Jayvon Graves, STVM: The Irish held off Hoban last Tuesday behind Graves’ 28 points, including the go-ahead basket in overtime. The 6-3 guard is headed to Buffalo next season.

Jerry Higgins, Villa Angela-St. Joseph: The Vikings' junior point guard continued the momentum he built two weeks ago by helping close out Mentor at home. On Tuesday, Higgins scored a team-high 15 points to help fend off Gilmour, 60-55, in a potential Division III district tournament preview. He followed Friday with 27 points in a 69-57 win against Warren JFK to keep VASJ perfect at home.

R.J. Sunahara, Bay: The Rockets’ 6-6 junior forward filled the stat sheet in three games. He supplied 24 points and eight rebounds Tuesday vs. Valley Forge. On Friday, Sunahara put up 26 points and six rebounds in a loss at Elyria Catholic. The next night, he had 29 points and 16 boards in a win against Lutheran West.

Miryne Thomas, Central Catholic: Thomas put up 22 points with seven rebounds and two blocks Saturday in an 89-67 win against Holy Name. Bound for the University of Maryland Eastern Shore next season, Thomas had 17 points Friday in a 100-53 win against Trinity.

Austen Yarian, St. Ignatius: The Wildcats’ 6-foot-8 senior forward, who is headed to Hillsdale College next season, closed Friday’s 75-72 overtime win at St. Edward strong and followed up with a career-high 32 points against Solo. First, Yarian shot 10-of-17 with 11 rebounds and three assists in his 23-point game against the Eagles. He followed the next by shooting 12-of-16 with 17 rebounds and seven assists in the 90-80 win against the Comets.
