Winona, MN -
With the Thanksgiving holiday and a historic winter storm affecting much of the state, a light slate of men's basketball games in the Minnesota College Athletic Conference were on tap for the previous week; however, some MCAC squads were able to take the court and the best of those performances have been highlighted as MCAC Athlete-of-the-Week.
Adidas, the United States Marine Corps and Nicklasson Athletic Company sponsor the MCAC Athlete-of-the-Week awards, and proudly honor the following student-athletes for their performances this past week on behalf of their teams.
