For the second time this season, LSU Eunice’s Cameron Horton, a former Benton star, has received national recognition by the National Junior College Athletic Association. The sophomore was awarded National Player of the Week honors after helping guide the Bengals to a perfect 5-0 week.
Horton received the Division II weekly honor during the first week of the season (January 26-28). Jacob Richard is the other LSUE player to be given the award this season.

For the week, Horton was 10-for-19 (.526 average) with three home runs, 13 RBIs, three doubles and five runs scored. He leads LSUE with six home runs this season.
