GREENWOOD, Ind. – Davis & Elkins junior guard Kevin Bracy-Davis was named the 13th Great Midwest Athletic Conference Men’s Basketball Athlete of the Week for 2015-16 on Monday.
Bracy-Davis earned his second G-MAC Men’s Basketball Athlete of the Week honor of the current season after being selected back in early December.
The Senators (10-13, 4-5 G-MAC) enhanced their chances at playoff seeding in the six-team tournament field with a conference win against Alderson Broaddus at home in their lone game of the week.
Bracy-Davis posted an eye-opening line of 29 points, nine rebounds and five blocked shots against the Battlers while nailing 5-of-6 tries from deep and 7-of-10 attempts overall.
At the free-throw line, he sank 10 of his 11 tries, and added an assist and one steal in 37 minutes of work.
Bracy-Davis has been the leading scorer for Davis & Elkins in the Senators’ late regular-season run. He returned from a near-seven game absence with a vengeance, scoring 20 points or more in five consecutive games.
D&E is winners in four of its last five and is currently fourth in the league standings.
Bracy-Davis has been limited to playing in 17 of his team’s 23 games this season. He’s averaging 20.9 points per game, a number that would be tops in the conference if he appeared in 75 percent of his team’s games.
He’s also averaging 6.5 rebounds per game and shooting almost 57 percent from the field. In five conference games, he’s picked it up with a scintillating pace of 62.5 percent shooting (30-of-48).
The Senators face a big stretch this week with Thursday/Saturday matchups at conference-leading/No. 18 Kentucky Wesleyan and at Trevecca Nazarene.
