November 2–8, 2026

Coverage note: Full-week statistics remain incomplete in several categories. Where only a single-game performance is available, it is identified as such. Missing totals have not been estimated.

Ranked wins, a double-overtime finish and a three-win offensive surge headline the Week 3 awards. Here are the NHR selections for November 2–8.

Best Win | Oregon Tech over No. 17 The Master’s

Oregon Tech earned Best Win honors by edging No. 17 The Master’s 89–87 on November 6, then finishing the weekend with a 74–62 victory over Hope International. The Owls went 2–0 and outscored their opponents 163–149, pairing a tight finish against a ranked opponent with a 12-point win the following day.

For the week, Oregon Tech averaged 81.5 points and allowed 74.5, posting an average winning margin of seven points.

Upset of the Week | Texas A&M Texarkana over No. 8 Langston

Texas A&M Texarkana delivered the Upset of the Week with its win over No. 8 Langston. The Eagles also played an overtime game against Nelson on November 7, falling 85–78.

The Langston final score and Texarkana’s complete weekly results remain unconfirmed here, so a full-week record and scoring averages are not included.

Best Game of the Week | Southwestern (KS) over Park (MO), 2OT

Southwestern (KS) and Park (MO) needed two overtimes to settle the Best Game of the Week, with Southwestern emerging with the win. The extended finish earns the matchup this week’s nod.

The final score, individual leaders and both teams’ complete weekly results remain unconfirmed here.

Offense of the Week | Georgia Gwinnett

Georgia Gwinnett’s offense produced three wins and 291 points in Week 3. The Grizzlies opened with a 108–65 victory over Montreat on November 3, beat St. Thomas 94–65 on November 6 and closed with an 89–69 win over Tennessee Wesleyan on November 7.

GGC averaged 97.0 points while allowing 66.3. All three wins came by at least 20 points, and the Grizzlies finished the week with a 92-point scoring advantage and an average margin of 30.7.

MVP of the Week | Kamari Slaughter, Missouri Valley

Kamari Slaughter takes MVP of the Week honors for Missouri Valley. His nomination highlighted two double-doubles and a 34-point, eight-rebound, five-assist performance, a combination of scoring, rebounding and playmaking that put him at the center of this week’s selections.

Complete game-by-game totals are still needed before his full-week averages can be reported.

Defensive MVP | Merquiche Lewis, Missouri Baptist

Merquiche Lewis earns Defensive MVP honors after a November 7 performance that filled the box score in Missouri Baptist’s 99–87 win over Mission. Lewis finished with 27 points, 15 rebounds, five assists, three steals and two blocks.

Those figures are from the Mission game. His November 3 line against Brescia is still needed to complete the week’s totals.

Coach of the Week | Donnie Bostwick, Oklahoma Wesleyan

Donnie Bostwick has Oklahoma Wesleyan sitting at 6–0, and the Eagles added another Top 25 win this past week by beating LSU Shreveport by 19 points. The unbeaten start and another decisive result against a ranked opponent make Bostwick our Coach of the Week.

Complete November 2–8 results are still needed before OKWU’s full-week scoring averages can be included.

Defense of the Week | College of Idaho

College of Idaho allowed just 111 points across two wins to claim Defense of the Week. The Yotes beat Providence 85–61 on November 6, then held Carroll to 50 points in a 66–50 victory the next day.

Idaho went 2–0, averaged 75.5 points and allowed 55.5 per game. The Yotes’ average winning margin was 20 points, with both opponents held to 61 or fewer.

Pippen of the Week | Michael Wellman, Grace

Grace’s Michael Wellman is this week’s Pippen selection. His complete November 2–8 game logs remain unavailable for this recap, so full-week totals and averages are not yet included.

Onions of the Week | RJ Walker, Oklahoma Panhandle State

RJ Walker of Oklahoma Panhandle State receives the Onions of the Week nod. His full-week game logs and the details of the decisive play behind the selection remain unconfirmed here.

Sniper of the Week | Jahiem Berry, Georgia Gwinnett

Georgia Gwinnett’s Jahiem Berry earns Sniper of the Week honors during the Grizzlies’ 3–0 stretch. Berry scored 10 points against Montreat and 15 against St. Thomas. The Tennessee Wesleyan release credits him with four made threes, but lists 26 points in its narrative and 24 in its statistical notes.

That discrepancy, along with missing three-point attempts and the Montreat three-point total, prevents an accurate full-week scoring total or shooting percentage.

Stock Riser of the Week | Southern Oregon

Southern Oregon swept its weekend in Klamath Falls to earn Stock Riser of the Week. The Raiders beat Hope International 79–69 on November 6 and followed with an 82–76 win over The Master’s on November 7.

Across those two wins, Southern Oregon scored 161 points and allowed 145. The Raiders averaged 80.5 points, allowed 72.5 and won by an average of eight points.

Rodman of the Week | Jermaine Lawrence, SUNO

Jermaine Lawrence takes Rodman of the Week honors for SUNO. The school’s nomination highlighted his 13-rebound performance in a 75–58 win over Xavier, alongside 12 points, five blocks, four assists and two steals.

That is the available single-game line. Complete weekly coverage is still needed to report Lawrence’s full-week totals.

Sophomore of the Week | Malachi King, Saint Francis

Malachi King earns Sophomore of the Week after helping Saint Francis beat Rochester Christian 98–88 on November 7. King recorded 30 points, eight rebounds, seven assists and a steal in the win.

King also delivered 27 points on 11-for-14 shooting, eight rebounds and two blocks against Cleary on November 6. Across the two games, he totaled 57 points and 16 rebounds, averaging 28.5 points and 8.0 rebounds per game. Saint Francis’ November 9 release also confirmed 4.0 assists per game and 68.8% shooting from the field for the week. King’s performance earned him Crossroads League Offensive Player of the Week honors.

Freshman of the Week | Keaton Lawson, Huntington

Huntington’s Keaton Lawson receives Freshman of the Week honors after a 28-point, 14-rebound, four-assist outing in a 93–89 win over Indiana Tech on November 6. Lawson shot 11-for-18 from the floor in the four-point victory.

His complete weekly schedule and remaining game lines still need confirmation before full-week totals can be added.

Dunk of the Week | Akol Ngor, Bellevue (NE)

Bellevue’s Akol Ngor is the Dunk of the Week winner. His selected finish earns the honor, while the dunk’s game context and his complete November 2–8 game logs remain unconfirmed here.
