    Who won our first Providence Journal Player of the Week polls of the spring high school sports seasons?

    We saw winners — two juniors and a senior — from across Rhode Island. Here they are:

    Ava DiFiore, Ponaganset, Softball

    DiFiore got the job done at the plate and in the circle for Chieftains. She opened spring vacation with a five-inning gem in a 10-0 win over Toll Gate, helping her own cause with two hits and an RBI. Playing Barrington later in the week. DiFiore went 2-for-2 with two RBI as the Chieftains took care of the Eagles. In our weekly poll, the junior garnered 40% (838) of the 2,073 votes cast. Guiliana Ialongo, of La Salle, was second with 36%.

    Jack Kenyon, Westerly, Boys Volleyball

    Kenyon stepped up and led the Bulldogs with 21 digs, 18 kills and 3 aces in a 3-2 (20-25, 25-19, 20-25, 27-25, 15-8) win over Woonsocket last week. And in a loss to Barrington, the senior recorded seven kills, two blocks and two aces. Kenyon got 593 votes, or 46% of the 1,298 votes cast in the weekly poll. Tom Matchett, of North Smithfield, placed second with 26%.

    Tyler DiCecco, East Providence, Baseball

    The Townies junior helps make up one of the state's deepest pitching rotations, and last week he threw 6 1/3 strong innings in a 2-0 victory over Barrington, allowing four hits and striking out eight. The Bishop Hendricken transfer pulled 1,782 votes, or 42% of the 4,219 votes cast. Antony Colucci, of Coventry, was second with 35%.
