MONTGOMERY, Ala. – The Southern States Athletic Conference announced today that Blue Mountain’s Mackenzie Lane (JR/Pontotoc, Miss.) has been named the Women’s Basketball Player of the Week.
Lane helped leaded the Lady Toppers to its first win of the 2020 season Saturday, knocking off a tough Williams Baptist team 82-77.
Lane dropped 20 points on the Lady Eagles while also pulling down nine rebounds, just one board shy of a double-double.
“I am so proud of Mackenzie,” Lady Topper head coach Tracy Rice said. “After taking a year off from basketball, her work ethic has been tremendous. She came out of the gate Saturday with energy and confidence that carried over to the whole team. She was a huge part of this win.”
In three games this season, Lane is averaging 11 points and 29 minutes per game. She’s pulled down 25 rebounds and is shooting 48 percent from the floor.
