Missouri Western senior guard Cortrez Colbert has been named the MIAA men’s basketball Athlete of the Week.

Colbert led all scorers in two games last week as he had 25 for the Griffons in a win over Northeastern State, and added 24 in a 62-57 loss to Central Oklahoma on Saturday.

For the week, the senior from Midwest City, Oklahoma, averaged 24.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 4.5 steals per game.

Colbert and Missouri Western are 5-5 on the season and 1-2 in the MIAA.  They’re off until January 3 when they play at Washburn.
