KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Fort Hays State’s Rob Davis has been named the MIAA Men’s Basketball Athlete of the Week after averaging 30.0 points per game in a pair of wins for FHSU over Northeastern State and Central Oklahoma.
In the Tigers 84-74 win over Northeastern State, he scored a team-high 24 points and hit four 3-point field goals. On Saturday in a 91-74 win over Central Oklahoma, Davis scored a career-high 36 points and went 8-of-10 from beyond the 3-point line and 13-of-18 overall from the field.
The 36 points matched the most scored by a Tiger under head coach Mark Johnson, tying teammate Craig Nicholson who had 36 in a game in 2014. The eight 3-point field goals in a game tied for third-most in school history, just one shy of the school record of nine held by two players.
Davis finished 22-of-32 (.688) from the field, 12-of-18 beyond the 3-point line (.667), and a perfect 4-of-4 from the free-throw line for the week. Davis added 2.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 2.0 steals per game with his 30-point average.
The 5-11 junior guard is a native of Detroit, Mich. where he competed at Westside Christian Academy prior to playing at Pratt Community College.
