Meet the Martin Dentistry Basketball Athlete of the Week for Jan. 19-24

Much like his style of play, Miliavong stayed quiet and consistent before separating himself down the stretch, piling up 9,578 votes — nearly 46% of the total. River Islands guard Charles Mapanao made it a race but ultimately finished second with 7,975 votes.

Few programs fly under the radar like Humphreys Able Charter. With fewer than 1,200 students in a K-12 setting, it’s not a name that pops up often on basketball scoreboards.

Kham Miliavong is changing that quickly.

The Humphreys Able Charter standout has turned consistent production into something louder, forcing attention on a program rarely covered because of the way he fills the box score.

That trend continued this past week. Coming off a 31-point performance the week before, Miliavong followed with 20 points and eight rebounds in a 73-45 loss to Vanguard College Prep on Jan. 20.

Even in defeat, the production stood out. Miliavong remained aggressive, shouldering the offensive load and keeping Humphreys Able competitive against a deeper roster.

Then came the breakout performance. In a 75-53 win over Delta Charter of Tracy, Miliavong delivered the game of his life.

He erupted for a career-high 40 points, pairing it with 16 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals in a performance that touched every corner of the stat sheet.

It wasn’t just scoring volume. Miliavong controlled the game’s pace, finished through contact and created opportunities for teammates while anchoring the glass.

Those numbers reflect a broader season-long trend. Miliavong is now averaging 22.2 points and 8.2 rebounds, production that places him among the area’s most consistent contributors.

For a school rarely in the spotlight, that kind of output demands attention. Humphreys Able Charter may still be unfamiliar to many, but Miliavong’s play is making it increasingly hard to overlook.

And as the season continues, the message is clear: the name on the jersey may be new to some — but the production isn’t something basketball fans can ignore anymore.
