WALI HEPBURN NAMED WEEK 6 PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Rex 6 has had a rough go of their debut season at the Drew, but it's not for lack of effort – or talent. Case in point, Wali Hepburn, who led Rex 6 to a stunning, 82-79 victory over Dawg Pound in overtime with 33 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists while shooting a perfect 3/3 from three and making 4 of 5 free throws. The Philadelphia born DII product basically had to put up those numbers to take Player of the Week honors over the Blazers’ Jerome Randle or Reapers’ Steph Hicks, who both scored 30 points in their games on similarly efficient shooting. Wali and the rest of his squad from the City of Brotherly Love are having their “welcome to the Drew” moment… but they also appear on the verge of turning a corner and proving that they belong after defeating one of our top five power ranking teams. That he scored the game winning three on a picturesque, buzzer-beating long bomb from near halfcourt makes Rex 6’s triumph closer to the sort of underdog narrative that builds legends in the basketball world. Of course, to solidify his and Rex 6’s, Wali has to lead them to the promised land – and with 3 weeks left, there's just enough time to secure a playoff berth, the next step to writing another chapter in their story.
