When the CIAA tournament starts, make sure you check out Bowie State because they tell me point guard Carlos Williams is worth the admission.
He's the spark that's got Bowie State breathing down the neck of perennial CIAA power Virginia Union, who's holding on to first by a thread in the Eastern Division.
Williams was recently named one of six Division II finalists for the Bob Cousy Award, which honors the nation's top point guard. The list includes point guards from all NCAA levels.
Williams, a senior from Louisville, Kentucky, leads the CIAA in Assists per Game (6.4), ranks second in CIAA Assist/Turnover Ratio (2.17), first in team Free Throw Attempts (52), Free Throws Made (39) and Steals (19). The finalists will be announced on Feb. 1 and the winner will be presented with the award at the NCAA Men's Final Four in San Antonio Texas on April 7.
Mens' Player of the Week
Anthony Hilliard, ECSU, Jr., Guard, 6-3, 205, Fayetteville, NC.
Notes of interest: With his career high 42-point performance against Lincoln, Hilliard became the first Viking since 2004 to score 1000 career points. He followed that with 23 points, 16 rebounds and 5 assists against Fayetteville State, helping the Vikings remain undefeated at home this season.
Womens' Player of the Week
Celeste Trahan, ECSU, 6-2, Center, Senior, Stockton, CA.
Notes of Interest: Besides her 32-point, 16-rebound, 4-block performance in a two-point loss to Fayetteville State, Trahan registered a 25-point, 24-rebound, 4 block game against Columbia Union College on January 16th. She now has 76 career double-doubles and is 74 points and 90 rebounds shy of 2,000 points and 1,500 rebounds in a career, which would make her the first ever to do so in NCAA Division II women's basketball history.

Well JC Smith plays Bowie State at home on Saturday if anyone is interested in seeing the player you mentioned. I think the men's game is scheduled for 7:30PM, right after the ladies play. As for other players, watch out for the Byerson brothers at Virginia Union. There's three of them on the team, and they're all supposed to be the truth. The oldest one plays center and was a transfer from D-1 West Virginia. JC Smith actually plays them tommorrow (Thursday) at home.
Dennis Scott’s son plays for Johnson C. Smith and he’s supposed to be having a really good year. He’s certainly one to watch. His name is Ryan Scott.
Carlos Williams is also a transfer. He recently was just at uncc last season. he struggled to play the point,but sometimes change is for the for the good. i am glad the kid has found a home.
How about going to a JCSU game and actually write about something you know?!?!
It's really sad how you're being pimped by this paper.
