HAMILTON — A pair of Hamilton High School graduates were named on Monday as players of the week for the Horizon League.
Northern Kentucky’s Trey Robinson and Wright State’s Andrea Holden were recognized for their performances this past week.
Robinson, a 2020 HHS graduate, was named the Horizon League Player of the Week.
Northern Kentucky finished 2-0 last week, knocking off Green Bay and Purdue Fort Wayne. Robinson led NKU in scoring at 21.5 points per game during the week, with a 26-point, nine-rebound performance against Purdue Fort Wayne — a team picked to finish at the top of the league prior to the season.
Robinson buried eight 3-pointers during the week — shooting 5 of 10 against PFW and 3 of 5 against Green Bay. His five made triples on New Year’s Day marked a career-high.
The graduate guard is performing at an All-League level this season, leading NKU in scoring (16.1 ppg) and rebounding (6.3 rpg) while shooting 53% from the field and 40% from long range.
Holden, a 2024 HHS graduate, was named the Horizon League Freshman of the Week.
Holden turned in a complete stat line that included an 11-point effort in his first collegiate game to spark Wright State in a 74-51 home victory over Green Bay last Thursday.
Holden gave the Raiders a lift off the bench, playing 22 minutes and going 5 of 6 from the floor on the way to his 11 points.
Originally slated to redshirt, Wright State reversed course and Holden rewarded the decision, adding seven rebounds, three steals and a pair of blocks to his scoring output in his season and collegiate debut.
NKU heads to Youngstown for a huge Horizon League matchup on Wednesday, with tip-off slated for 6:30 p.m.
Wright State returns to action inside the Nutter Center on Thursday night, as the Raiders welcome Oakland for a 7 p.m. tipoff.
