The following CCC student-athletes have been recognized as Red Lion Players of the Week for their performances during the period Jan 18-24.

Javonte Byrd
Men’s Basketball
 
Northwest Christian’s Javonte Byrd has been named the Red Lion Men’s Basketball Player of the Week.
 
Byrd, a senior from San Diego, Calif., leaded NCU to their first-ever road sweep of Eastern Oregon and The College of Idaho and their tenth and 11th consecutive victories. Shot 57.6% from the field and 58.8% from three-point range on the weekend, playing all but 12 minutes total in two games. Against Eastern Oregon, Byrd scored a team-high 20, including 4 points in the final two seconds to secure the win.
 
After Byrd’s three-pointer tied the game at 76-76 with two seconds to play, the Beacons forced a turnover on the inbound play, and Byrd netted the game-winning free throw with 0.8 seconds remaining. Byrd hit six triples against The College of Idaho on Saturday, including three during a 22-3 run by the Beacons to close out the first-half and put the game out of reach.
