No. 4-ranked Lewis-Clark State College’s Damek Mitchell was named the Embrace Health-Santiam Hospital Men’s Basketball Player of the Week, marking the third time he’s won the award.
 
Mitchell, a five-foot-nine senior guard from Bellingham, Wash., helped LC State to its first CCC title with wins on Thursday and Sunday. He led the Warriors in scoring in both games, including a season-high 30 points in the clinching game on Sunday. He was efficient from the field and near perfect at the free throw line.
