SWAC.org
Jackson State center Tiffany Kellum has been named SWAC Player of the Week honors for the opening week on conference play. The 6'2 junior from Peoria, Ill. averaged 23 points and 11.5 rebounds in the Lady Tigers two games this week.
In JSU's 72-66 win over Alabama A&M in the SWAC opener, Kellum had 25 points and 14 rebounds. She followed up that performance with 21 points and nine rebounds in a tough loss to Alabama State.
For the week, Kellum was 18-for-33 (.545) from the field and 10-for-16 (.625) from the freethrow line.
The SWAC season is condensed for the first calendar week of the new year as the league plays its first two weeks of competition in a seven-day span.
The Player of the Week award will continue its regular schedule of a Wednesday release beginning next week and following the second round of travel games this Saturday and Monday.
