Junior Jewel Cotton looks to pass the ball against Middle Tennessee State Thursday, Nov. 19, 2015.
Two Central Michigan basketball players have been recognized for their work off the court.
Senior forward Jewel Cotton from the women’s team and senior forward Blake Hibbits from the men's team were nominated for the Allstate National Association of Basketball Coaches and Women’s Basketball Coaches Association Good Works Team for their community service work in the Mid-Michigan area.
Women's basketball coach Sue Guevara praised Cotton for her work in the community.
“She’s not only a really good leader for us, but she’s also very conscious of making her mark in the world off the court,” Guevara said.
