PLATTSBURGH — Clinton Community College men’s basketball player Jeffrey Collins Weeks III has recently been named second team All-Conference in the Mountain Valley Conference and third team All-Region for Region III.

Weeks is the first Clinton player to earn All-Region honors since 2020. The sophomore forward led Region III in scoring and rebounding this season, averaging 22.9 points and 14.8 rebounds per game.

Weeks also ranked among the nation’s top performers, finishing seventh nationally in scoring and second in rebounds per game.

During his career at Clinton, Weeks recorded 24 double-doubles. He posted a career-high 37 points and 21 rebounds against Hudson Valley Community College this season.

Weeks will graduate this spring with a degree in individual studies. He has earned a full athletic scholarship to NCAA Division II West Virginia Wesleyan College, where he will continue his academic and basketball career.

Clinton’s men’s basketball program has continued to emphasize player development and academic success. Over the past two seasons, 10 players have advanced to four-year programs or professional opportunities. All three sophomores on this year’s roster are on pace to graduate and continue their careers at the next level, which would bring the total to 13.

CCC’s program has graduated eight players over the past two seasons, with three more sophomores on track to graduate this year. Eleven players will have earned degrees during that span.
