The TranSouth Conference gave out its first awards of the season and two West Tennessee players were recognized. 
 
Union University's Greg Truvillion is the Men's Basketball Player of the Week for the week ending Sunday, November 15.
 
Truvillion, a 6 foot 8 inch senior center from Lansing, Mich., averaged a double-double for the week. The reigning TranSouth Player of the Year had his best game of the week in a 75-62 win over Harris-Stowe. He scored 27 and grabbed 14 rebounds while adding four assists, two blocks and three steals.

For the week, Truvillion hit 26-of-44 field goals. His lone three-pointer came with four seconds remaining against McKendree and was the game winner.


The Bulldogs are 3-1 on the year and ranked No. 11 in the NAIA Preseason Poll.


Truvillion had some company from West Tennessee as Freed-Hardeman University's Jana Cross walked away with the TranSouth Women's Basketball Player of the Week.


The senior from Loretto, Tenn., led the Lions to a 2-0 week. Cross averaged 18.5 points, two assists and 10.5 rebounds per game while shooting 15-of-23 from the field and 7-of-7 from the foul line.


In the Lady Lions 68-64 win over Lambuth, Cross scored 24 points and grabbed 12 rebounds. The 12 rebounds tied her career high. In the Lions 94-48 win over Spring Hill College, she added 13 points, three assists and nine rebounds.


The Lions are now 4-0 and ranked No. 9 in the NAIA Preseason Poll.
