MASCAC Player of the Week Release
North Adams, MA- Trailblazer junior guard John Jones was tabbed as the Co-MASCAC player of the week following a pair of impressive performances for MCLA. The honor marks the first time this season that he has claimed the award. Jones shared the award with Westfield State senior guard Lee Vazquez.
Jones was spectacular in both contests for the Trailblazers. He collected a pair of double doubles and is currently in a run of four straight. In a road win at Salem State, the Trailblazers first since 1989, he notched 16 points and 10 rebounds. He kept the momentum going on Saturday in helping the Trailblazers dispose of Worcester State. In that contest, he dropped a game high 21 points and grabbed 12 caroms. Jones shot 12-24 (50%) on the week.
In sharing the honor with Vazquez, it adds intrigue to Tuesday night's contest in North Adams. The reigning players of the week will be on display as MCLA is currently leading the MASCAC, while Westfield is just a half game back. Tip off in the contest is slated for 7:30pm.
