Lower Columbia earned some respect on the bulletin board when Kap Laila was named Player of the Week for the NWAC West Region. Laila earned the honor after averaging 16 points, 14 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game.

And while recognition is nice, it’s wins that the Red Devils are enjoying the most over the last week of action. After hitting the skids for a bit during holiday time, LCC has now rattled off three straight wins to set up a dramatic finish to the regular season.
