WEATHERFORD, Okla. – DeAngelo Adkins (men’s basketball) and Abby Hepper (rodeo) have been selected as the Bulldogs of the Week. This award is brought to you by Wright Wradio, the official partner of SWOSU Athletics for both livestream and radio.
Adkins (Edmond, OK.) showed up in a big-time game for the Bulldogs last weekend. He put up a season high 16 points and grabbed five rebounds against Harding in a 75-67 win over the Bisons. This win kept them in the hunt for a GAC Tournament bid. It was the third time in as many games that Adkins had scored in double digits.
Hepper (Keene, N.D.) won the Barrel Racing average at Kansas State this weekend, finishing third in the long round with a 12.42 second ride and clocking the fastest short go time of 12.44 seconds. She was part of a one-two SWOSU punch in Barrel Racing that saw her win the event and teammate Sadie Wolaver finish second. Hepper has now placed first in her event in two separate rodeos – first at Oklahoma State this fall and now Kansas State to open up the spring.
