Rodgers Named NAIA Player of the Week
Posted on January 29, 2013
Less than 24 hours after being named TranSouth Player of the Week, Jeremy Rodgers received national accolades as he was named Martin Methodist's first-ever NAIA Men's Basketball Player of the Week for the week ending Jan. 27, the league office announced Tuesday afternoon.
Rodgers turned in his best two-game stretch of the season last week for the RedHawks, helping guide the squad to a 2-0 record with TranSouth victories over Mid-Continent (Ky.) University and Life (Ga.) University.
On the week, the senior averaged a double-double, scoring 24.5 points while tracking down 11 rebounds. Rodgers also recorded 2.5 steals and 2.0 blocks in the two RedHawk victories.
The 6-foot-5, 253-pound forward poured in a career-high 27 points and snagged eight rebounds in the RedHawks 84-71 at Mid-Continent on Jan. 24. Rodgers followed up his career night with an equally impressive 22-point, 14-rebound performance in his team’s 69-53 win over Life on Jan. 26. The 14 rebounds marked a career-high for the former Memphis-Fairley HS and Southwest CC standout.
