Jenkins Named GSAC Player of Week



SEBA Alum Jessie Jenkins honored by GSAC 



SEBA Alum and Piedmont College Freshman Jessie Jenkins was named the Great South Athletic Conference (GSAC) Player of the Week. The 6' 3 Freshman Guard out Locust Grove High (GA) is Piedmont's team leader in scoring, rebounding and field goal percentage. But during Piedmont's last pair of non-conference games, he performed beyond his average performance.


In Piedmont's recent loss on the road at Oglethorpe University, Jenkins recorded a double-double of 18 points and 10 rebounds. Three days later, he put on a show in Cave Arena in a blowout win over Free Will Baptist College, dropping 32 points and making it a double-double with another 10 boards.

Jenkins was efficient on his way to 32 points, making the most of every shot opportunity. He made nine of his 10 shots from the field, including draining his only three-point attempt. He also took advantage of his freebies, converting on 13 of 14 shots from the line. All of this comes in just 28 minutes of playing time.

 Jenkins' 19.4 points per game and 7.6 boards per game anchor a team that leads the conference in scoring at nearly 83 points per contest.

Congrats Jesse and keep putting in work!!
