LAS VEGAS, N.M. – The Las Vegas, New Mexico, area Subway® restaurants and Manger Regina Denardo is pleased to announce that men's basketball sophomore guard Ricky Norris has been named the Subway Eat Fresh Student-Athlete of the Week on Monday (Jan. 19).
 

Norris helped the Cowboys sweep a weekend in Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference play for the first time in nearly two years with career highs in both rebounds and points to record a pair of double-doubles. On Friday (Jan. 16), in the Cowboys last-second win against Chadron State (98-95), Norris had 15 points and 10 boards. 
 

In Highlands 77-76 win against Black Hills State on Saturday (Jan. 17), Norris had a career best 18 points - including 14 points in the second half - and also grabbed 10 rebounds. His 10th was the most pivotal as he grabbed an offensive board and was fouled. He split from the line with four seconds left as the Cowboys went on to win by one.
 

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.
