HICKORY, N.C. — Six members of the Catawba Valley Community College women's basketball program have been honored for their performances on the court and in the classroom during the 2020-21 season.

Red Hawk forwards A.J. Davis and Kelis Carmon were honored for their play on the court — both being named to All-Region 10 women's basketball.

A 6-foot-2 sophomore from Baltimore, Md., Davis was second for CVCC in scoring this season at 14.3 points per game, and she led the Red Hawks in rebounding at 7.9 per game. Her 37-point performance on March 20 against Louisburg was the second-highest point total in a game in program history.

Carmon, a 6-foot-1 freshman from Wendell, N.C., led the Red Hawks this season in scoring at 16.1 points per game, and she was second on the team in rebounding at 7.0 per contest. She also led Catawba Valley in field goal percentage (51.9).

Carmon was named the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) DII Player of the Week for games played from March 8-14. She became only the second Red Hawk women's basketball player to earn national weekly honors from the NJCAA.

Behind the play of Davis and Carmon, the Red Hawks finished their 2020-21 season with a 13-5 overall record and 8-4 mark in conference games.

Five Red Hawk women's basketball players were also honored for their performances in the classroom. Receiving Academic All-Region 10 honors for the Red Hawks were Kenzley Dunlap, Astou Seck, Tre'zha Muhammad, Camari Jeter and Davis.
