GENEVA, N.Y. -The Eastern College Athletic Conference has recognized Hobart College basketball player Davidek Herron (Schenectady/Schenectady, N.Y.) for breakout performances in three games for the Statesmen last week. A day after being named the Rochester Area College Athletics (RACA) Male Athlete of the Week, and two days after earning the Upstate Collegiate Athletic Association Forward of the Week award, the junior has earned a spot on the ECAC Upstate Division III Weekly Honor Roll.

Herron began the week with a 10-point, five-rebound performance at Hamilton on Jan. 29. The solid effort gave no hint of the offensive clinic that was to come. On Feb. 1, against UCAA leading Union, he scored a career-high 30 points on 13-of-21 shooting from the floor, while collecting a team-high nine caroms. The following afternoon against Skidmore he matched his new career-high with 30 points on 14-of-21 shooting, including a pair of dunks. Herron also established a career-best by pulling down 17 boards. He also handed out five assists at the Thoroughbreds expense.

He'll get his first shot at 1,000 on Feb. 8, at Rensselaer. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m.
