He was a great player at both ends of the court, averaging a double-double of 17.5 points and 13.0 rebounds per game. He was also a great defensive player for the Rams with seven blocked shots in the two games of the tournament. After a strong effort in the opening game, he stepped up to lead the Rams to the tournament championship with 22 points, 14 rebounds, and three blocked shots in the championship game.

Newcomer of the Week - Notes of Interest:

Tony Smith continued to be a lynchpin in the Shaw attack this week. His 21 points against Columbus State helped the Bears squeak by with the 76-74 win.

Coach of the Week

Bobby Collins, Winston-Salem State University
 Collins led the Winston-Salem State Rams to their sixth straight win and led the team to the 36th Annual Winter Park Rotary Tangerine Tournament championship. Collins led the Rams to back-to-back wins, since being idle for 25 days since their last game. Collins' guidance was a key part of both victories as the Rams had to battle back from a pair of late deficits to rally for both wins; including a thrilling overtime win over the Flagler Saints, and overcoming a 14-point deficit to defeat the Rollins Tars at home for the tournament championship.
