Southern forward Quinton Doggett earned his second SWAC Player of the Week honor Wednesday for his performance in games played Jan. 21 and Jan. 23.
Southern (10-11, 6-2) is off to its best start in SWAC play since 2006 when the Jaguar captured their first regular season title in 16 years.
Doggett, a 6-7 Richmond, Va. native, averaged 19.0 points, 8.5 rebounds and shot nearly 65 percent from the field as the Jaguars swept Alabama A&M and Alabama St.
In the Jaguars 68-56 win over Alabama St., Doggett posted a solid game in front of 1,477 with a 17-point performance and adding 8 rebounds and six blocks.
Southern hosts Alcorn St. Saturday, Jan. 28 on "Remember Bobby Phills" night in the F.G. Clark Activity Center. Phills, a former SU standout and NBA star with the Cleveland Cavalier and Charlotte Hornets, passed away tragically after an automobile accident in Charlotte, N.C. in 2000.
Saturday's game will be broadcasted live on Cox Sports (Cable Ch. 37, HD-1037) beginning with women's action at 2 p.m. Tipoff for the men's game is scheduled for 4:30 p.m.
