SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Mercer men's basketball player Ethan Stair has been named the General Shale Southern Conference Student-Athlete of the Week for all competition from Dec. 11-17. The selection is made by the league office.
In Mercer's lone game of the week, Stair scored 16 points and pulled down a career-best 16 rebounds in a 72-63 win at UNCW on Monday evening. The redshirt senior from Hazel Green, Alabama, was 6-for-13 from the floor and chipped in with four assists against just one turnover. Stair's double-double was his SoCon-best sixth of the season, while his rebound total was the most for the Bears since January 2016. He was also named the men's basketball player of the week for his performance.
Stair is a higher education leadership major and currently holds a 3.75 grade point average.
Mercer (5-6) is back in action Friday when it hosts Furman (10-3) in the SoCon opener for both squads. The contest tips at 7:30 p.m. from Hawkins Arena and will air live on ESPN3.
