Bruno Williams Jr. Also Named to First Team
Two players from Parkland Men’s Basketball were awarded All-Conference honors by the coaches of the Mid-West Athletic Conference. Carter Jeffries and Bruno Williams Jr. were each chosen as part of the First Team, and, in addition, Jeffries was chosen MWAC Player of the Year. The Cobras finished their 8-game conference slate with a record of 5-3, good enough for a tie for second-place.

The Buchanan High School alum was twelfth in the conference in steals (22) and fourteenth in assists (45). He had a conference-season-high of 25 points against Lincoln Land on February 29th, and he went 6-7 from beyond the arc in the February 5th game with Danville Area.
Williams Jr., the sophomore guard/forward from Milwaukee, Wis., was fourth in the conference in both rebounds per game (6.8) and assists per game (3.1). He was sixth in two categories as well, points per game (13.3) and steals (33).
