Greene, Homan Run Away with Player of the Week Distinction

Devonte Greene (Cuyahoga) and Rylie Homan (Edison State) were both unanimous selections for the latest OCCAC Basketball Player of the Week awards (Jan. 27-Feb. 2). It also represents the pair’s second honor this season and the third of Greene’s career.  

Greene and the Triceratops earned two pivotal league wins, including a 91-90 triumph over Lakeland in a battle to keep within striking distance of Hocking for the OCCAC lead. He knocked down 10-of-12 shots for 20 points versus the Lakers, and came back with a monstrous 18 rebounds (and 25 points!) in a home win over Owens. For the week, Greene shot 76% (22-29) and averaged a double-double (22.5 points; 12.0 rebounds per game).

Homan showed up in a big way when her team needed it most — a 34-point burst in the battle with Hocking for first place. The Chargers came away as 69-53 victors and now sit alone atop the league standings at 8-1. She swiped eight steals as well in that one, followed by five more steals in a road win at Terra State. Homan totaled 49 points (dropping in 10 of 16 three-pointers), 13 steals, seven rebounds and season assists in the two victories.
