Bridgeport, W.Va. - The Mountain East Conference announced Monday the winners of this week’s Men’s and Women’s Basketball Player of the Week awards. The MEC Player of the Week awards are presented by The Health Plan.
Concord’s Kenyah Stubbs has been named the MEC Women’s Basketball Player of the Week while Concord’s Micah Young and Frostburg State’s Trey Simmons have been named Co-MEC Men’s Basketball Player of the Week.
Stubbs, a sophomore guard from Hanford California, stuffed the stat sheet averaging 25.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.5 steals in a 2-0 week for the Mountain Lions. Overall, she shot 55.2 percent going 21-for-38 from the floor and was 8-for-14 at the foul line. In a road win at Wheeling, Concord’s first win at Wheeling since January 2019, she was the leading scorer in a 66-54 win over the Cardinals. She returned to the Carter Center Saturday afternoon and dropped a career-best 32 points on 13-for-24 shooting to go with six rebounds, five assists and three steals. She became the first Mountain Lion with a 30-point game this season in Concord’s 93-77 win.
Young, a freshman guard from Westerville, Ohio, was impressive in his first two career starts. He averaged 31 points and six rebounds while shooting 52.4 percent going 22-for-42 from the field and 80 percent going 12-for-15 at the foul line. He also made six three-pointers and was 40 percent going 6-for-15 from beyond the arc. In his first career start at Wheeling, Young poured in a career-best 39 points, the highest-scoring game for any Concord player this season. He finished 14-for-23 from the floor, 4-of-7 from three-point distance and 7-for-9 at the free-throw stripe. He added a career-best seven rebounds in Concord’s 108-100 win. On Saturday, Young was the game’s leading scorer against nationally ranked West Liberty as he went for 23 points to go with five rebounds.
Simmons, a sophomore guard from Gaithersburg, Maryland, averaged 34.5 points per game in leading the team to a 2-0 week. He scored 34 points on a perfect 12-for-12 performance from the floor and 7-for-7 at the free throw line in the win over Salem. He followed that up with 35 points against Point Park, scoring the game-tying layup to send the game into overtime, then getting the go-ahead layup and free throw in the extra period before effectively sealing the game with a steal and two free throws. He also added seven total assists, a block, and four steals across the two contests.
