SEC names Hopson Frosh of Week
The Southeastern Conference named Tennessee’s Scotty Hopson, a native of Hopkinsville, as its Freshman of the Week.
Hopson became a national top 25 prospect while playing for University Heights. He originally committed to Mississippi State before deciding to play for Tennessee rather than, among others, Kentucky.
Last week Hopson started at shooting guard and scored 17 points in just 19 minutes of action while making his collegiate debut against Chattanooga.
According to a SEC news release, his game also included:
• Added three rebounds, one steal and one impressive block.
• 7-of-11 shooting from the floor, including 3-of-6 from 3-point range.
• Four dunks in the game, including a pair of alley-oops and a one-handed jam that landed on ESPN SportsCenter’s Top-10 Plays.
The SEC named Arkansas forward Michael Washington as Player of the Week. He had career highs of 30 points and 14 rebounds in an opening-game victory over Southeastern Louisiana.
