Staggs Named OCCAC Basketball Player of the Week

The Ohio Community College Athletic Association (OCCAC) has named Edison State Community College sophomore Whitney Staggs (Whetstone HS) an OCCAC Basketball Player of the Week for February 21–27, 2022.

Staggs and the Lady Chargers completed an undefeated 27-0 regular season by cramming in four more wins during the final week. The sophomore forward racked up 80 points, 28 rebounds, 11 assists, and seven steals, good for per-game averages of 20.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.8 steals. Those averages came while playing less than 30 minutes per contest because of limited time in two lopsided wins. She knocked down 57% (35-61) of her field goal attempts.

Staggs is now a three-time winner this season and five times overall. Her previous award-garnering efforts came on January 24, 2022; November 29, 2021; January 21, 2019; November 12, 2018.

The Lady Chargers finished the regular season 27-0 overall and 14-0 in the OCCAC.
