POPLARVILLE, Miss. — Pearl River men's basketball's Austin Green (Sicklerville, N.J.; Timber Creek Regional) has been electric week in and week out during the 2023-24 season, and his excellent play has finally been rewarded. On Tuesday, the sophomore was named the Mississippi Association of Community Colleges Conference Player of the Week.
Green is the first MACCC Player of the Week selection of 2024 for Pearl River.
He earned the award after being the driving force in Pearl River's dominant 89-63 victory over East Mississippi. Green finished with 34 points on a 15-for-20 showing from the field. He knocked down 4 of 7 free-throw attempts in the contest. He nearly finished with a double-double, snatching nine rebounds. He also chipped in an assist, block and steal.
Green has done it all for the Wildcats so far this season. He leads the team in points per game with 20.7 — all while shooting a team-best 63.4 percent from the field. He is second on the team in rebounding, averaging eight per game. He also averages one block per game.
Green has scored double-digit points in every game this season and has scored 15 or more in 10 of 13 games.
