Jackson State’s Mike Williams earns SWAC weekly award

Jackson State guard Mike Williams was named Southwestern Athletic Conference Player of the Week on Wednesday after a strong start to the season, the conference announced.

Williams averaged 21.5 points in two games off the bench. He scored 20 points against Tulane on Nov. 5 and followed with a career-high 23 against Mississippi State on Nov. 9. He has reached double figures in all three games.

Williams returned from a season-ending injury that limited him to eight games last season. He started Jackson State’s game against No. 19 Texas Tech and led the Tigers with 11 points.

Jackson State was scheduled to play at Southern Miss at 7 p.m. Wednesday, according to the team’s announcement.
