Our Boys Player of the Week for January 9th to January 15th is Adien Hrnjez of Marshall. On Friday night against McLean, Hrnjez posted a career-high 29 points and 15 rebounds in his team’s victory.
Among the most improved players in the area, the 6’6″ forward has been one of the key ingredients in Marshall’s 10-1 start. Hrnjez averaged 4.5 points per game and 4.1 rebounds per game last season and flashed potential, but this season he has been borderline dominant. The senior is averaging 15 points per game and eight boards per game, doing damage in the post and hitting threes at a 46% clip.
On defense he’s no slouch either, averaging two steals per game and one block per contest.
Congrats to Adien and the Statesmen on their excellent start to the season!
