The following CCC student-athletes have been recognized as Red Lion Players of the Week for their performances during the period Jan. 6-12, 2020.
 
Men’s Basketball – Player
Multnomah University’s Justin Martin was named the Red Lion Men’s Basketball Player of the Week for the second time this year.
 
The 5-foot-10 senior guard from Spokane, Wash., had an explosive weekend for the Lions. Martin scored 40 points Friday night to help MU beat Corban University 97-93, before breaking the MU, CCC and NAIA Division II scoring record with 74 points the next night. It helped the Lions beat Northwest Christian University 118-111 and put Martin’s points per game average at 57.0 on the week. He shot 31-for-66 (.470-percent), including 17-for-33 (.515-percent from the perimeter).
 
Women’s Basketball – Player
Northwest Christian University’s Morgan McKinney was named the Red Lion Women’s Basketball Player of the Week, her second honor of the year.
 
McKinney, a 5-foot-8 junior guard from Lake Oswego, Ore., was instrumental in both games as the Beacons moved into sole possession of first-place in the CCC standings. While her game goes far beyond just her offense (11 rebounds, 10 assists, six steals in two games) it was scoring that gave her a historic weekend. In the win against Multnomah University, McKinney crossed the 1,000-career point line, becoming the fourth Beacon in school history to do so, and the first to accomplish the feat as a junior. She finished the week with 43 points, averaging 21.5 points per game.
