Cloud County Community College sophomore forward Leila Washington has been named the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference (KJCCC) Division I Women's Basketball Player of the Week, the conference announced on Tuesday, January 6.

A native of Garber, Oklahoma, Washington delivered her third double-double of the season in Cloud County's 81-67 home win over Pratt Community College on January 3. Washington finished the contest with a season-high 28 points on 10-of-15 shooting from the field and a 5-of-9 performance from behind the arc. Washington also went a perfect 3-of-3 from the free-throw line.

Washington was equally impactful on the glass, pulling down a game-high 11 rebounds, all of them on the defensive end. Washington also added two steals and a blocked shot as the T-Birds held off a fourth quarter Pratt surge to improve to 6-7 overall and 2-6 in KJCCC play.

Washington currently ranks in the top ten in the conference in points per game (13.9 ppg), field-goal percentage (50.4 percent), three-point percentage (44.7 percent) and blocks per game (1.4 bpg), where she's tied with Barton's Mary Akinde for first in the conference.

Cloud County returns to action on Wednesday, January 7 when they travel to Goodland, Kansas to face Fort Hays Tech Northwest in KJCCC action. Tip-off is slated for 5:30 pm (MST).
