Statesmen of the Week: Roy Jones III and Peyton Naranjo

Oskaloosa--Men's basketball player Roy Jones III (Sr., Pensacola, Fla., Psychology) and women's softball player Peyton Naranjo (So., Ripon, Calif., Biology) have been named Statesmen of the Week for February 3-9, an honor presented by Gardner-Collier Jewelry.

Jones III delivered a standout performance this week, scoring 38 points while shooting an impressive 70.6% from the field, 57.1% from beyond the arc, and 83.3% from the free-throw line. On Monday against Clarke, he contributed 13 points and three steals, while on Saturday, he dominated against MidAmerica Nazarene with a career-high 25 points.

Naranjo played a key role in her team's perfect 4-0 start, batting .444 with four hits in nine at-bats.  She also drew five walks to post a .600 on-base percentage. She converted those opportunities into three runs and two RBIs. In Friday's 6-4 win over Morningside, she tallied two runs and one RBI, then matched that performance in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Mount Marty.
