CCC Players of the Week
EUGENE, Ore. – For the second straight week, men's basketball senior
Cory Johnson has been named the Cascade Collegiate Conference McDonald's Offensive Player of the Week, presented by Urban Edge Network, as announced by the CCC offices on Monday.
Johnson had another big weekend, averaging 29.5 points per game as Bushnell split their final regular season games to clinch the No. 6 seed for the upcoming Cascade Collegiate Conference Tournament.
In Friday's 97-82 win over Walla Walla, Johnson posted his sixth double-double of the season, scoring 37 with 14 rebounds as he shot 14-for-28 from the field. He landed the most points for a Beacon in five years, and the third-highest scoring CCC game in school history while tying for the tenth-highest point total ever.
He followed that up with a 24-point performance in Saturday's loss to No. 22 Lewis-Clark State Colllege.
This is the third weekly honor for Johnson this season and fourth of his career. He was also named CCC Defensive Player of the Week on January 5th.
UP NEXT: The Beacons (13-14, 10-10), will be back on the court on Wednesday in the CCC quarterfinals, traveling to Ashland, Oregon to face No. 3 seed Southern Oregon University at 7:00 pm.
