March Opens with Chris Braggs, Jr. & Tyra Aska as Bulldogs of the Week

WEATHERFORD, Okla. – The newest Bulldogs of the Week have been named, with recognition going to basketball standouts Chris Braggs, Jr., and Tyra Aska. The award is bought to you by Wright Wradio, home of the Bulldogs over the airwaves on both 95.5 'The Coyote' and 100.3 'Coyote Classic'.
 
Braggs (Oklahoma City, Okla.) had a strong finish to his freshman season as a Bulldog, leading his team to a 1-1 record on their final road trip. In Thursday's win at Harding, Braggs matched his career-high with 17 points, a number he then surpassed after going for 25 points with six rebounds in the season finale at Arkansas Tech. For the week, he averaged 21.0 points and 4.5 rebounds per game and he ended the year ranked second on the team by averaging 9.0 points per game.
 
Aska (Meridian, Okla.) helped the Lady Bulldogs complete the first undefeated conference season in GAC Women's Basketball history as they wrapped up the regular season with wins at Harding and Arkansas Tech over the weekend. She averaged 12.5 points and 9.5 rebounds per game on the trip and recorded her first double-double of the season with 16 points and a career-high 11 rebounds in the season finale win at Arkansas Tech on Saturday.
