VIDEO: Charles Clark Interview

Clark wins the award for the first time this season and the second time in his career.

"Just like any other award, it's good to have, but it's better to have after you win games," Clark said. "The win at Newberry was a great win and a quality win, one to remember for sure.  This is really for my teammates though, who knows what would happen."

Clark guided the Eagles to a 67-59 win at Anderson Thursday night before helping propel C-N from a 21-point deficit to down Newberry 91-89 Sunday. 

Clark averaged 26.5 points and 3.5 steals for the week. 

"His performance this week in two road wins was special," Benson said. "He's a competitor, he's a warrior and a winner. He took great pride in being a leader this week when our team needed it most."

The sophomore began his week with 23 points on 56 percent shooting in the win over Anderson.  He also drained a trio of triples in the win.

Clark then followed that up with his third career 30-point game against Newberry.  Of those 30 points, 22 came in the second half and 11 in the final 6:36 as the Eagles stormed back from the 21-point deficit to collect the two-point win at the buzzer thanks to Zack Pangallo's (Newport, Ky.) game-winning three. 

The Murfreesboro, Tenn.-native added in eight boards, five assists and four steals against the Wolves.

Clark has scored 20 points in three straight games now.  His two 20-point efforts this week give him 12 for the season and 20 for his career.

Clark and the rest of the Eagles will be in action Wednesday at 8 against nationally-ranked Lincoln Memorial. Pregame coverage on the Eagle Sports Network begins at 7:45 with the AEC Countdown to Tipoff on Mountain Country 106.3 (WPFT-FM, Sevierville) and online at cneagles.com/live.
