Northwestern Oklahoma State athletics is now through the first month of the spring semester and following big months on the court, Kamera Bozeman and Adrian Motley of the Ranger basketball teams have earned Athletes of the Month honors for the month of January.
Bozeman was a force under the basket for the women’s basketball team as she averaged 13.8 points per game for the Rangers, while also pulling down a solid 6.3 rebounds per contest. She also had the best shooting percentage of everyone on the team as she was a solid 61 percent from the field, while also knocking down 34-of-43 free shot attempts for 79 percent.
Bozeman had a stellar game against Harding in the second to last contest of January for Northwestern as she was just a couple numbers short of a triple double. She posted a 28-point performance and brought down nine boards and rejected eight shots on the night in a close three-point game.
Motley was once again a big presence for the men’s basketball team in the month of January as he averaged 18.6 points per game. He also led the team in rebounding, bringing down 8.2 boards per game. At one point during the month of January, Motley also went a perfect 25-for-25 from the charity stripe before missing.
Motley was very instrumental in the Ranger’s success for the month of January as the team went 5-4 and climbed to within one game of .500 in Great American Conference play. He has also had 10 straight contests where he has scored 10 points or more, with arguably his best performance coming on the road against Oklahoma Baptist where he put up 24 points on 12-of-19 shooting and crashed the glass for eight rebounds as well.
