Sophomore Javoris Cooks has been named the Student-Athlete of the week for October 26-November 1, 2015.
Cooks led the men’s basketball team to their first victory of the 2015-16 season this past week against Point University. His 17 points, two assists, and five rebounds guided Thomas, to what was Brent Crews’ first collegiate victory as a head coach, in the 79-65 win. Cooks, who serves as one of the team’s captains, went 7-for-12 from the field, including 3-for-7 from behind the arch. The Cordele, Ga., native’s 58-percent shooting was timely in Thomas’ victory that saw the Night Hawks go down early but fight back for the 13 point victory.
