MALIKA GOUTAY

Cochise College freshman forward Malika Goutay has been named the ACCAC Conference Player of the Week for Week 12 after posting back-to-back dominant performances in conference play.

Goutay led the Apaches to a home victory over Yavapai College on Jan. 24, pouring in 21 points and grabbing 14 rebounds while shooting an efficient 7-for-9 from the field and a perfect 6-for-6 at the free-throw line in just 26 minutes of action. 

Earlier in the week at Central Arizona College, she recorded another double-double with 11 points and 13 rebounds, adding two blocks and anchoring the paint on both ends while playing 34 minutes. 

Across the two games, Goutay averaged:

  • 16.0 points per game

  • 15.5 rebounds per game

  • Shot 62% from the field

  • Added 7 blocks and consistent interior defense

Her physical presence, rebounding, and scoring efficiency have quickly made her a key piece of Cochise's frontcourt rotation and one of the top freshmen in the conference.

 

DAVON JONES

Men's Basketball freshman guard Davon Jones has been named the ACCAC Conference Player of the Week for the second time this season following another productive stretch in conference play.

Jones delivered a strong all-around performance in Cochise's road win at Central Arizona College, finishing with 14 points, five rebounds, and efficient shooting in 28 minutes of action, going 4-for-6 from the field, 1-for-2 from three-point range, and 5-for-6 at the free-throw line. 

He followed that effort with a steady contribution at home against Yavapai College, scoring seven points while adding a rebound and an assist as the Apaches secured an 83–80 victory to extend their conference win streak. 

Across the two games, Jones provided consistent scoring, strong perimeter efficiency, and defensive energy as Cochise climbed back to .500 in ACCAC play.

The honor marks Jones' second ACCAC Player of the Week award of the season, further establishing the freshman as one of the conference's most impactful newcomers.
