YSU's Brooks earns Horizon League player of the week

Shooting 64 percent from three-point range, Youngstown State senior forward DuShawn Brooks has been named the Horizon League Men’s Basketball Player of the Week, for the week of Nov. 29-Dec. 4.

The accolade is the first of Brooks’s career, while the senior is the first player from Youngstown State to collect the honors since Jan. 11, 2010.

Helping Youngstown State (5-3, 1-1 Horizon) open with a road split in the first weekend of Horizon League play, Brooks averaged 20.5 points per game, knocking down 9-of-14 three-point attempts as the Penguins knocked off Detroit, 64-61, before suffering a 63-62 defeat at Wright State on Saturday.
