LAS VEGAS, N.M.- The Las Vegas, New Mexico area Subway® restaurants and Manger Regina Denardo is pleased to announce that Men's Basketball player Junior Marlon Johnson from Chicago, Ill has been named the Subway Eat Fresh Student-Athlete of the Week.
Johnson helped the Cowboys this weekend to advance to 3-0 in Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. In just two games he had a total of 41 points, 23 rebounds, 5 assists, and 6 blocks. Johnson shot 55.6% from the field goal and 64.7% from the free throw line.
In the game against Western State Colorado, he ended the game with 28 points with shooting over 62% from the line. The next night against Colorado State-Pueblo, Johnson had 13 points and 15 rebounds giving him his fourth double-double on the season.
In its second year, the 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 2015-2016 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. Congrats to Jonathon Mines.
