KJCCC Kansas MTXE Men's Basketball Athletes of the Week, Week 9, 2017-18

Marvin Cannon played a huge part in No. 11 ranked Barton's pair of wins last week. Coming off a career high thirty points against Neosho County, Cannon followed with consecutive games of 27 and 25 points in a torrid three-game stretch.  Connecting on 75% of his shots including draining half of his three-point attempts, the Virginia native was perfect from the charity stripe in ten tosses and averaged seven rebounds to go along with 2.5 blocks per game. 

Johnson County Community College sophomore guard Anthony Lupardus averaged 34.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 steals while leading the Cavaliers to a pair of victories. He shot 64 percent from the field, 68 percent beyond the 3-point line and 92 percent at the line. Lupardus opened the week by tying his career high with 30 points and six 3-pointers in an 84-55 road win at Washburn JV. Two days later he established a new career high after pouring in 39 points in a 106-90 home victory over Ottawa JV. Lupardus also tied a school record making nine 3-point baskets.
