Fairley and Kewley Earn MBB Weekly Honors

By WHAC Communications

The Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference (WHAC) has announced its Men's Basketball Player of the Week Awards, presented by Tarkett Sports Construction, earlier today. Student-athletes are nominated by their host institutions' sports information department and selected via a vote by conference SID's.

This week, WHAC SIDs have chosen Lourdes' Derek Fairley as the offensive player of the week and Cleary's Tim Kewley as the defensive player of the week. 

Fairley scored 30 points in a hard-fought conference loss to Cleary on Wednesday. He followed that up with another 30-point effort in a Saturday exhibition game against Toledo University. He shot 50% from the field and 71.4% from range in the conference clash against Clearly. This is Fairley's second Offensive Player of the Week honor this season. 

Kewley earns Defensive Player of the Week honors for the first time this season thanks to his efforts in a WHAC win over Lourdes. He came off the bench and provided a spark on the defensive side of the ball, adding five blocks, three steals and eight rebounds (six defensive) in just 21 minutes of action. He also went 7-of-9 from the field for 16 points on the offensive end.
