    Eastern Florida State Basketball Student‑Athletes of the Week Deliver Career‑High Performances – Space Coast Daily

    East Florida Stars Light Up the Court

    Sweet, sweet hoops: both E’Zaria Adams and Emondrek Erkins‑Ford hit career highs this week and snagged Orlando Health’s Student‑Athlete of the Week title for the period ending Jan. 5. These sophomore sensations proved that the sweet spot isn’t just for dessert—they’re also crushing the competition.

    The Showstoppers from Edge

    • E’Zaria Adams: A 26‑point jam on Saturday, after a 21‑point opener on Dec. 29. She’s averaging 15.5 points across four games this week, and has already chalked up three 20‑plus scorings on the season—both a sign of a rising star and a hint that the court could get busy.
    • Emondrek Erkins‑Ford: A 28‑point explosion on the season opener against Florida Southwestern, followed by a solid 17‑point outing against Keep Striving Prep. Coach’s breath‑less may be a little out of breath, but Erkins‑Ford’s average sits nicely at 22.5 points per game over this week.

    Game‑Day Brag‑Lines

    When the ball’s in motion, these two weren’t just playing—they were redefining “highlight reel.” With Adams hitting for a neat mix of perimeter shooting and inside hustle, and Erkins‑Ford driving straight to the basket like a thief in the night, the crowd had to check their phones to keep up.

    What That Means

    With both athletes punching their boxes—reviewing stats like a fortune teller gazing at the stars—they are shining brightly on the Citrus Conference stage. Their performances have turned ordinary Saturdays into unforgettable nights, and their averages show they’re not just one‑time wonders. Keep an eye out: David S. Scott’s brilliant play is getting eye‑catcher status, and the future looks as bright as a freshly poured cup of coffee.

    Erkins-Ford, Adams Named Eastern Florida State College Student-Athletes of the Week

    Star Player Spotlight: Consistency Is the New Cool

    Erkins‑Ford and Adams make the Eastern Florida State College Student‑Athletes of the Week list. These guys are crushing the scoreboard and the competition alike.

    Why Their Numbers are Worth the Spotlight

    • Second 20‑plus point outing of the season that didn’t drop them below the 12‑point threshold. Talk about reliability!
    • Chicago, Illinois, native Bowen Keister leading the team with a solid 16.1 points per game average.
    • His team has posted at least 12 points in every one of the 13 games so far. Consistency never looked so sweet.

    • Women’s game starts at 5:30 p.m.
    • Men’s game kicks off around 7:30 p.m.
