Junior Taron Bright has been named the Student-Athlete of the week for January 18-24, 2016.
Bright has been a growing force for Thomas since stepping on the court in January. In her six games as a Lady Night Hawk, Bright has collected 45 points, averaging 7.5 a game. The 6-foot-3 center has also corralled 29 rebounds, averaging 4.83. Bright narrowly missed her first double-double in a Thomas jersey against Southeastern recording 10 points and nine rebounds. This past weekend, Bright led Thomas in scoring for the first time all season, netting 15 points. The Pace, Fla., native seeks to build momentum down the final stretch of TU’s Sun Conference slate and become a key contributor for head coach Coretta Brown’s squad.
