Bobcat women’s basketball player Claire Cudney (Marysville, Kan.) and Bobcat men’s basketball senior Quantice Hunter (Chicago) were recently named by Peru State interim athletic director Steve Schneider as the February Bobcat Athletes of the Month. Cudney and Hunter were identified by Schneider for the honor based on their recent athletic accomplishments for their respective teams.
After joining the team about half-way through the season, Cudney immediately became one of the leaders on the team in both scoring and rebounding. For her efforts, she was named to the Heart of America Athletic Conference (Heart) All-Conference Honorable Mention list.
Cudney ended up as the team’s leading scorer averaging 14.3 points per game and almost finished with a double-double average as she grabbed 9.6 rebounds per contest. In the Heart, Cudney finished in the following statistical categories: second in stellar rebounds in a game (18), seventh in double-doubles (6), tied for seventh in stellar rebounds per game (15) – occurred twice, and 20th in total rebounds with 164.
Had Cudney played in a few more games, she would have been in additional statistical categories.
In announcing his February selections, Schneider noted “With their efforts on the court, Claire and Quantice are logical choices for the February Peru State Athletes of the Month.”
