Riley Young Male Student Athlete of the Month

Central Penn College would like to congratulate Riley Young on being named Student Athlete of the Month for the month of January! Our Student Athlete of the Month award is not only someone who excels on the field/court, but someone who takes pride in academics and is involved in community service/leadership. Thanks so much to our partnership with Duck Donuts, we are able to provide our honorees with some Duck Donuts merch as well as gift cards for a dozen of their amazing donuts! 

Coach Martin's nomination:

I am nominating Riley Young! 

Student Athlete of The Month for January from our Men's Basketball Team is Riley Young. The Sophomore power forward from Trevorton, Pa. Line Mountain High School has seen his playing time increase in the month of January as well as increases in rebounds, points and starts. Riley has started in every game in the month of January for the Knights.

Riley, in our most recent basketball game against Cheyney University contributed in many ways. From being a constant communicator, to taking charges and fundamentally boxing out opponents. Basically doing all the things that it takes to compete.

Riley played his best game of the season for the Knights against Cheyney last Thursday night. His stat line was 5-7 from the field and 5-5 from the free throw line, took 2 charges and scored 15 points to help the Knights defeat Cheyney 109-104 Go Knights

Congratulations, Riley! Go Knights!
