JAMES SAPP OF CENTENARY COLLEGE, a senior forward from Shongaloo, Louisiana, has been named the SCAC Men's Basketball Player of the Week for games played through Sunday, November 27th. 

Sapp had a great start in his first home game of his senior season by coming off the bench for 32 points and nine rebounds. The 32 points is the most for a player this season in the SCAC, was one off his career best, and is the fourth time in his career he scored 30+ in a game.

Coupled with his 23 points and season best 16 rebounds (which is also a single game high in the SCAC this season) on Saturday, Sapp takes over the conference lead in both points and rebounds. He is the only player in the SCAC averaging a double-double this season.
