RAYFORD PILES ON THE ACCOLADES ROCK
HILL, S.C. — Presbyterian guard Chuck
Rayford (Greenville, SC) has been named the
South Atlantic Conference Men’s Basketball Player of
the Week, the league announced today. It has been quite a week
for the 6-1, 180-pound junior, as he scored the 1,000th
point of his career in an upset win against #15 Shaw
University. On the court this week,
Rayford scored a team-high 18 points to go along with a
pair of rebounds in PC’s 62-59 loss to USC
Spartanburg. Later in the week he scored a season-high
28 points with four rebounds and three steals in PC’s
78-73 upset victory. He hit 10-of-11 free throws down
the stretch to seal the victory for the Blue Hose. On
the day, Rayford shot seven-of-14 from the field and
13-of-14 from the free throw line. Rayford now has 1,024
career points, the 12th player in Blue Hose history
under head coach Gregg Nibert's tenure to reach that
plateau. For the season, Rayford is averaging 16.0
points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists and is shooting 39.3%
from the field, 27.9% from three-point land, and 78.6%
from the free throw line. The SAC Players of the Week
are determined by a vote of the eight sports information
directors of the league. |
