Clarksville, TN – Josh Terry, a senior on the Austin Peay State University men’s basketball team, has been named the Copies in a Flash APSU Athlete of the Week.

The Henderson, KY, native was named Mid-Major Player of the Week by College Sports Madness and Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Week, after leading the Governors to back-to-back victories over Arkansas State and Tennessee. The defensive specialist showed his offensive prowess scoring 22 points in the 86-82 overtime victory against Arkansas State, Monday. Then the senior again led the Governors in scoring with 20 points in the 74-70 come-from-behind victory over Tennessee, Saturday.

Against Arkansas State, Terry finished 9-of-15 from the floor and came up huge in overtime, scoring the period’s first two buckets before sealing the win with a free throw with two seconds left.

Terry led the comeback against Tennessee, scoring nine points in the final 6:27. Included in those nine points were the game-tying basket with 1:05 left and the game-clinching free throw with 2.4 seconds left. The forward finished the game with 20 points on 6-of-10 shooting, with team-highs in assists (five), rebounds (five) and steals (four).
