Glendora, CA (Men’s Basketball) -- Just two weeks after freshman Jose Rivera was named the Western State Conference Southern Division Men’s Basketball Player of the Week, another Fighting Owls has earned the honor.
Sophomore Steven Bennett is the latest Citrus player to be named the conference player of the week, after his strong showing at the Neil Edwards Classic over the holiday weekend.
Over three games from Friday-Sunday, Bennett averaged 13.3 points per game, dished out 9 assists, recorded 2 blocks and 5 steals. Probably most importantly, Bennett turned the ball over just once the entire weekend, despite playing 23.3 minutes per game at the point guard position.
Along with his player of the week award, Bennett was named to the Neil Edwards Classic All-Tournament team along with teammate Justin Johnson. Bennett and the rest of the Fighting Owls will be taking on El Camino this Friday at 7:30 PM in Torrance, CA.
