HOLLY SPRINGS, MS – Rust College women’s basketball standout Patsy Johnson has been
named the HBCU Athletic Conference (HBCUAC) Women’s Basketball Offensive Player of the
Week for the week of February 2–8, the conference announced.
Johnson delivered a dominant offensive stretch in two games, totaling 58 points, knocking down
17 free throws, and dishing out 14 assists to help lead the Bearcats to two conference victories over

Her scoring ability, pace, and playmaking presence were key factors in Rust’s success throughout
the week, as she consistently created opportunities for herself and her teammates while keeping
the Bearcats’ offense flowing.
“Patsy continues to be a difference-maker for our program,” said Head Coach Jaleesa Sams. “Her
ability to score, create for others, and lead with confidence is a big reason for our success. This
recognition is well deserved, and I’m proud of the way she’s been competing.”
Johnson’s weekly honor highlights another strong moment for Rust College women’s basketball
as this is her second player of the week award this season and Bearcats continue to make their
mark in the HBCUAC.
