NORTH PLAYER OF THE WEEK - Zach Hankins, Ferris State
Ferris State sophomore center Zach Hankins had another big night as the GLIAC Champion Bulldogs wrapped up league regular-season play with a convincing 77-59 home win over archrival Grand Valley State on Thursday night. The 6-10 Hankins was one of six FSU players to reach double-figures with 10 points and added a game-high 16 rebounds, six blocked shots, two assists and a steal in an all-around performance. He shot 50% from the floor in the triumph as FSU improved to 24-4 on the year and closed league play with a school all-time best 18 conference wins this year.
SOUTH PLAYER OF THE WEEK - Martyce Kimbrough, Findlay
Findlay junior guard Martyce Kimbrough hit the game-winning three pointer at the buzzer in overtime to beat Walsh 88-85.
