LAS VEGAS, N.M. – The Las Vegas, New Mexico, area Subway® restaurants and Manger Regina Denardo is pleased to announce that men's basketball junior Jonathon Mines has been named the Subway Eat Fresh Student-Athlete of the Week on Monday (Dec. 15).
Mines was pivotal in the Cowboys first win of the season, 77-68, at Western State on Friday (Jan. 12) by hitting 5-for-9 from the field, including 2-for-3 from beyond the three-point arc, to score 22 points. He scored 14 points and added three steals as Highlands bid to knock off regionally-ranked Colorado Mesa fell short, 84-73.

New for the 2014-2015 school year, a Subway® Student-Athlete of the Week will be chosen every week for the athletic year. Every student-athlete chosen for the weekly award will be eligible to win the Subway Eat Fresh® Student-Athlete of the Year award following the 2014-2015 academic year. While the weekly award will be based on athletic prowess, the yearly award will be bestowed upon an athlete based on success not only on the playing field, but also in the classroom and community involvement.
