Clarion University’s David Shearer (Sr., Greensburg/Hempfield) has been named the PSAC-West men’s basketball Co-Player of the Week for the week ending Feb. 16.

Shearer played a key role in the Golden Eagles (14-9 overall, 7-4 PSAC-West) going 3-0 during the week including 2-0 in the PSAC-West helping the Golden Eagles, the defending PSAC Champions, clinch their sixth straight PSAC Playoff berth.

In PSAC-West play last week he averaged 19.0 ppg and 10.5 rpg. He posted 20 points and 13 rebounds in Clarion’s 74-60 win over Slippery Rock Wednesday and then scored 18 points, grabbed eight rebounds, had two blocks and four steals in Clarion’s 82-71 win over IUP Saturday.

For the season, Shearer is averaging 9.7 ppg and 7.6 rpg despite playing with an injury in his foot for most of the season. Last week he became just the fifth player in school history to score 1,200 career points and gather in 700 career rebounds. He has 1,231 career points and 779 career rebounds. He is a two-time PSAC-West First Team performer and was PSAC-West "Rookie of the Year" in 1998-99.

Shearer shared this week’s award with Edinboro’s Kenny Tate.
