Valdosta State forward James Anacreon (SR, 6-7, 200, Hollis, NY) captures his first-ever honor after averaging a double-double in the Blazers’ 1-1 league week. He averaged 24.0 points and 10.5 rebounds in 61 total minutes and also shot 69.2 percent from the field.
VSU started the week with a 72-64 loss at in-state rival West Georgia, but the senior shined individually, scoring a game-high 22 points and adding seven rebounds in just 28 minutes. The Hollis, NY caught fire in the second half in Valdosta State’s 91-87, overtime triumph on Saturday at West Alabama. Anacreon only had four rebounds and two points in the first half against UWA, but he still finished with a game-high 26 points and 14 rebounds and drained the game-tying basket with one second left to force overtime.
