CALVIN SPORTS REPORT FOR DECEMBER 9, 2002
MEN'S BASKETBALL - Veenstra Named MIAA Player of Week
For the ninth time in his career, Calvin senior forward Jeremy Veenstra has been
named MIAA Player of the Week in men's basketball.
Veenstra's career MIAA Player of the Week total is the second-highest in Calvin
men's basketball history, surpassed only by Steve Honderd who received the award
10 times between 1989-to-1993.
A native of Kalamazoo and a graduate of Kalamazoo Christian High School,
Veenstra led Calvin to victories over Wheaton and Tri-State last week as the
Knights improved to 4-3 on the year.
In an 84-73 win over Wheaton Tuesday night, Veenstra had 22 points, six rebounds
and three blocked shots. He followed with a season-high 28 points in a 77-73
win over Tri-State Saturday afternoon.
On the week, Veenstra was 17-of-30 from the field, 13-of-17 at the free throw
line, scored 50 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and blocked four shots. He is
averaging 18.0 points and 6.3 rebounds a game.
Calvin returns to action on Wednesday when it faces Grace Bible College at
Allendale High School. Wednesday's game will begin at 7:30 p.m.
