The Red Deer College Athletics Bedford Food Company Athletes of the Week this week include a Queen’s volleyball player and King’s basketball player.

Emma Holmes had another excellent performance this past weekend for the RDC Queens Volleyball team against the Lethbridge College Kodiaks.

The 5’10” outside hitter helped the Queens earn two matches victories on the road, contributing 26 kills, 18 digs, two stuff blocks, two aces and one assist in only eight sets.

In Friday’s four set victory (21-25, 25-18, 25-15 and 25-13), Holmes totaled 11 kills, 10 digs, one stuff block, one assist and one service ace.

The second-year from Red Deer added 15 kills, eight digs, one stuff and one ace, while hitting for 42.4 per cent efficiency in another four set decision (21-25, 25-18, 26-24 and 25-12) on Saturday.

In Friday’s close 87-85 win, King stacked up 21 points, six rebounds, six steals and five assists, while hitting four-for-four from the free-throw line and eight out of 13 from the field. King, a fourth-year guard, was named the Collegiate Sports Medicine Kings Player-of-the-Game.

Then, the RDC Legal Assistant student recorded 17 points, eight rebounds, eight assists and one steal, while connecting on eight out of 14 from the field in Saturday’s 89-83 victory.

King made several clutch shots at critical moments of each game, helping his team improve to 5-3 which places it in a tie for third in the south with the Ambrose University Lions (5-3).
