Tallahassee’s Elmo Stephen nabs player of the week honor

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (November 19, 2014) – Tallahassee Community College’s Elmo Stephen, on Tuesday, was named NJCAA Region 8/FCSAA Men’s Basketball Player of the Week. 

Stephen, a sophomore forward from Tallahassee, Fla., led the FCSAA No. 1 Eagles to a pair of victories at last weekend’s Applebee’s Okefenokee Classic, hosted by South Georgia State College. 

In two games, Stephen averaged 29.0 points and 3.0 rebounds while shooting 46.7 percent (21-of-45) from the floor and 45.0 percent (9-of-20) from the three-point line. He also hit all seven of his free throw attempts. 

Against South Georgia Tech on November 15, he poured in a career-high 35 points, knocking down 13 field goals in the Eagles’ 84-77 win. The next night, he added 23 points on 8-of-16 shooting as Tallahassee defeated previously unbeaten South Georgia State, 87-72. 

Stephen and the Eagles, currently 7-0, travel to Hillsborough Community College for a 7 p.m. game on Friday.
