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 Marlon Johnson has been named the Subway Eat Fresh Student-Athlete of the Week.
Marlon, a regular to this award, averaged an outstanding 19.0 ppg, 10.5 rpg, 4.5 apg, and 2 bpg. Johnson shot 57% from the field (15-26). Johnson had his seventh and eight double-double of the season this weekend. His best game of the weekend came when he scored 25 points and 11 rebounds against Chadron St. His 25 points was his third highest of the season, only behind his 33 against Colorado Mines on January 2nd, and his 28 against Western St. on December 11th.
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 Marlon Johnson
