Coming off back-to-back career high performances to open the 2026-27 season, Barton Community College sophomore Mikey Williams has been named the Week 2 KJCCC Division I Men's Basketball Player of the Week, earning the first conference weekly honor of his career, as announced by the league office.
Williams averaged 25.0 points per game on 65.2 percent shooting from the field, including a sizzling 66.7-percent clip from behind the three-point line, helping the 10th-ranked Cougars open their campaign with a pair of victories at the Scooter's Coffee Tip-Off Classic inside Fleske Fieldhouse.
In Friday's 100-94 season -opening victory over North Dakota State College of Science, Williams then established a then-career-high 21 points on 7-of-12 shooting, connecting on 5-of-6 attempts from beyond the arc while adding two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 27 minutes.
The sophomore followed with a new career-high 29 points in Saturday's 92-87 victory over receiving-votes Lee College, finishing 8-of-11 from the floor and 10-of-11 at the charity stripe. Williams played all 40 minutes in the victory, adding three rebounds and an assist.
Returning to Fleske Fieldhouse this weekend, the Cougars will host the Best Western/Booster Club Classic, featuring eight games over two days. Barton opens against North Platte Community College on Friday before facing Northern Oklahoma College-Tonkawa on Saturday. Both contests are scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. tipoff.
