January 28th, 2010 Former Middlesex Magic Player and current Roxbury Community College (RCC) Men’s Basketball player, Jeff Cannon, was named the NJCAA’s (National Junior College Athletic Association) Division III Player of the Week for the week ending January 23, 2010. The 6’5” guard/forward from East Boston High School (Boston, MA) averaged 25.0 points, 11.0 rebounds and 3.3 assists over three games during the week for the RCC Tigers, whose record now stands at 14-3. In an 88-64 win over Northern Essex Community College on January 19, Cannon posted 21 points, 12 rebounds, four assists and four blocked shots in 32 minutes of action. On January 21, in a 116-67 win over Massasoit Community College, the Tigers’ Co-Captain continued his spectacular week, posting 23 points and 11 rebounds. Concluding the week in a heartbreaking 92-91 loss to the Community College of Rhode Island, Cannon had 31 points, 10 rebounds and six steals in 34 minutes. “Jeff is one of the great leaders on our team,” said Roxbury Head Coach, Kwami Green. “He has been one of our most consistent players throughout the season and a big reason why we are 14-3. His phenomenal shooting ability, coupled with his tenacious defense, is invaluable to our team.” Cannon is currently ranked fourth nationally in points per game (26.0), while the RCC Tigers are ranked seventh in the national poll.
