NAVY MEN’S BASKETBALL: Navy’s John Carter Jr. earned his third Patriot League Rookie-of-the-Week accolade for men’s basketball, the league announced on Monday.
Carter received this week’s award, which is open to just freshmen, after averaging 11.5 points and 6.0 rebounds a game last week.
He first tallied a career-best 18 points and added four rebounds in Navy’s victory at Lafayette. Carter helped seal the victory by going 8-8 from the foul line in the second half. He would then score five points and grab eight caroms –– doubling his previous career best for boards in a league game –– in the team’s loss at Army.
