FULTON, MS – Itawamba Community College sophomore point guard Alex Anderson was named the Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) men's basketball player of the week after leading the Indians to three victories.
"We are really excited for Alex receiving this honor," said Coach Grant Pate. "He's the epitome of a student-athlete and is a tremendous leader for our team."
The Memphis, TN native averaged 18.3 points, 1 rebound, 5.3 assists, and 1.3 steals in the Indians (6-4, 2-0 MACJC North) wins over Coahoma Community College Meridian Community College, and Snead State Community College.
