Allison Hughes (Edison State) is back as the OCCAC Player of the Week for the fifth time in her career while Xavier Vann (Cuyahoga) is getting his first taste as the men’s basketball selection. Both honorees elevated their squad to a pair of wins and are in early contention for the conference title.
Hughes averaged 30.0 points and 20.0 rebounds in the Chargers’ two victories. Yes, you read that correctly … 60 points and 40 rebounds in two games. She added four assists, two steals and two blocks while logging 68 minutes and shooting 51% (26-51) from the field. Hughes was dominant in both contents, posting 35 points, 19 boards at Cedarville and 25 points, 21 boards at Oakland.
Vann was lethal, converting at a 69% rate by knocking down 20-of-29 shots. He added a dozen points at the foul line to average 26.0 per game in the two league wins that improved the Triceratops to 4-0 in OCCAC play. Vann also contributed eight rebounds, eight steals and five assists while turning the ball over just three times in 51 minutes played.
