Oskaloosa–Marc Wilson (Sr., Los Angeles, Calif., Physical Education) put up big numbers to keep his team’s winning streak intact and his efforts earned him Midwest Collegiate Conference Men’s Basketball Player of the Week honors Monday.

His week was highlighted by producing a pair of double-doubles, including 15 points and ten rebounds against Simpson and 20 points and 14 rebounds against Crossroads.

For the year, Wilson is averaging team bests in points (16.5) and rebounds (7.3) in addition to 18 assists, a team-hig 15 steals, and seven blocks. He has thus far made 57.0% of his field-goal attempts (44.4% 3-PT) and is 70.8% at the charity stripe.
