Mounties' Mark Carollo Named CCC Player of the Week
PORTLAND, Ore. -- Mark Carollo of Eastern Oregon, who tallied 65 points in two victories last week, has been named the Cascade Collegiate Conference Player of the Week, the league office announced Monday.
Carollo, a 6-5 senior from Hermiston, Ore., had two big games last week as the Mounties claimed the regular season CCC title, the school’s first conference championship in 34 years, and earned its first-ever bid to the NAIA tournament. Carollo had 25 points and eight rebounds in an 85-77 road win over College of Idaho on Tuesday, then followed that outing up with a 40-point, six-rebound, five-assist effort in an 81-65 victory over Northwest Christian on Saturday.
Eastern Oregon will host eighth-seeded Northwest Christian Wednesday in a first-round playoff game.
