Pennsylvania Highlands sophomore Victor Raymond was chosen as the NJCAA Region 20 Division III Player of the Month for February.
Raymond (Wilmington, DE) averaged 14.4 points, 10.4 rebounds and 2.0 blocks over five games during February, earning the Black Bears their first winner of the monthly award this season.
“It’s an honor to be named the Player of the Month,” Raymond stated. “I’m thankful for everyone at Penn Highlands who supports me. This couldn’t have happened without my teammates. I’m going to work to keep improving and continue moving forward from here.”
Raymond posted three double-doubles during the stretch and tallied four games with 10 or more rebounds.
His highlight was compiling 27 points, 16 rebounds and five blocks in a 98-86 win over Butler County Community College on February 12, which secured the No. 1 seed for the Black Bears in the WPCC/Region 20 Tournament.
“We are very proud of Vic,” stated Chris Weakley, Head Men’s Basketball Coach. “Coming off a year of injuries, he was able to play basketball at a high level and show he has what it takes to be a great player. He’s a fantastic young man that made a big impact for us.”
Raymond was one of four Penn Highlands players named to the WPCC All-Conference Team following the Black Bears’ victory over the Community College of Allegheny County in the Region 20 Championship game, giving the team its second consecutive title.
