NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – The Atlantic 10 Conference has named Dayton junior Toumani Camara as its Men's Basketball Player of the Week. George Washington freshman Maximus Edwards was selected as the league’s Rookie of the Week. The awards were announced Monday and are for games played Feb. 6-12.
 
Camara led the Flyers to a pair of wins last week.

At VCU on Tuesday, Camara had 26 points and 15 boards. He had two steals against the Rams and his free throw with eight seconds left clinched the four-point win. Saturday against Saint Louis at UD Arena, the Flyer captain had 17 points and 10 rebounds for his seventh double-double of the season.
 
Edwards averaged 11.0 points, 12.0 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 1.5 assists in GW's 1-1 week to earn his fourth A-10 Rookie of the Week honor. A guard from Stratford, Conn., he opened his week with 11 points and 16 rebounds in GW's overtime victory over Richmond on Wednesday while playing 43 minutes. Edwards grabbed 15 of his 16 rebounds on the defensive end, tying GW's school record for defensive rebounds. On Saturday at Saint Joseph's, Edwards again scored 11 points and corralled eight boards.
