Francis Marion University / McDonald's Student-Athlete of the Week

Francis Marion University men's basketball guard Alex Cox has been named the McDonald's Student-Athlete of the Week for the week of Nov. 8-14, 2021.

The senior from Concord, N.C., led the Patriots to a season-opening 96-84 win over Johnson & Wales University by scoring a career-high 30 points.  He also snagged five rebounds and dished out two assists, while committing only one turnover in 35 minutes of action.  He connected on 9-of-12 field goal attempts, including 4-of-5 shots from behind the three-point arc, and was 8-of-10 at the free throw line.

FMU hosts Pfeiffer University in non-conference action on Wednesday (Nov. 17) at 7 p.m., before opening Conference Carolinas play on the road at Emmanuel College (Ga.) on Saturday, Nov. 20.

The Florence area McDonald’s Owner/Operators are proud to support the Francis Marion Student Athlete of the Week! Go Patriots!
