Parks Stands Out as RRAC Men's Hoops Player of the Week

Texas College's Kaleb Parks was recognized as the Red River Athletic Conference (RRAC) Men's Basketball Player of the Week for his play over the dates of January 8-14, 2024. This is the 10th award of the 2023-24 men's basketball season.

Parks guided the Steers to a pair of conference victories last week. The junior forward from Center, Texas, accounted for 16 points and seven rebounds in a 66-51 win over Texas A&M University-Texarkana, and he scored 20 points with seven boards in a 92-73 defeat of NAIA No. 4 LSU Shreveport (La.). Parks was 16-of-22 from the field for the week with a pair of three-pointers.

Texas College is now 7-3 in conference play and 11-5 overall. Their win over LSU Shreveport is their fourth win in a row, collecting two wins over Top 25 teams this season. With 12 games to go in conference play, Texas College Men's Basketball is inching toward the playoffs, a feat that has not occurred since 2012. The Steers currently sit in third place in the RRAC; the top eight teams punch their ticket to the playoffs.
