Great Lakes Valley
This Week’s Best Valley(s) Players
(St. Louis, MO) – St. Louis, Kokomo and Memphis were made proud this week by the ‘Valley Conferences’. Those cities were represented by the ‘Player of the Week’ awards handed out by the three Valley conferences.
Kokomo, Indiana’s D. J. Balentine received the recognition from the Missouri Valley Conference. The Evansville junior averaged 25 points during the Purple Aces two victories. The reigning MVC scoring champion made six of his eight attempts from beyond the three point line.
Murray State sophomore Cameron Payne made folks in Memphis smile with his first weekly honor form the Ohio Valley Conference. Payne averaged 23 points, seven assists and three steals in the Racers two games. Payne is sixth nationally in the steals department.
People in St. Louis remember when Seth Jackson was torching the nets for CBC high school and the Truman State guard is at it again! Jackson was named the Great Lakes Valley Conference ‘Player of the Week’ for averaging 28 points for the Bulldogs. He dropped a career high 33 points on Quincy during Truman’s conference opening game.
