Men's basketball player Brice Sharp has been named Lee University Male Athlete of the Week.

The senior guard began the week by scoring six points and pulling down eight rebounds in the Flames' 78-87 loss to the University of North Alabama Thursday night. Sharp was a perfect 4-of-4 from the foul line in the contest.

On Saturday the Cleveland native was instrumental in helping to snap Lee's three-game losing streak with a 75-63 victory over Union University. Sharp had 14 points on 5-of-6 shooting from the field and was a perfect 3-of-3 from behind the arc. The shutdown defender also grabbed seven boards and swiped two steals.

Lee Head Coach Tommy Brown praised the play of his senior, "Brice came back (this year) after a medical redshirt. He is a leader and a guy that brings toughness and energy every day. He can be a great defender."

The road gets tougher for Sharp and the Flames on Thursday and Saturday as they travel to Delta State to face the league-leading Statesmen and a very strong Christian Brothers team.
