Wayne State College guard Eldon Turner was named Tuesday afternoon as the Northern Sun Conference Men's Basketball South Division Player of the Week following his performance in Monday night's season-opening 75-62 victory over Nebraska-Kearney.
            A 6-0 junior guard from Bellevue West HS, Turner poured in a career-high 23 points and grabbed a career-best nine rebounds in Monday's win.  He scored 10 straight points in the final 2:35 of the first half, helping turn a 29-21 deficit into a 33-29 halftime lead.
            Turner finished the contest making 5 of 9 shots from the field and 12-15 at the charity stripe.  He also recorded three steals and two assists.
            Wayne State, 1-0 on the season, travels to Little Rock Arkansas this weekend for the NSIC/GAC Challenge as the Wildcats battle Ouachita Baptist Friday at 3 p.m. and face Arkansas Monticello Saturday in a 1 p.m. contest.
