Player of the Week: Austin Feureborn

Brendan Hoover

Junior forward Austin Feureborn earned Player of the Week honors for his season-high 15-point performance in the Broncos' down-to-the-wire 76-69 loss at Metro Athletic Conference powerhouse Putnam City North on Jan. 9.

The 6' 5" Feureborn has been the big man in the middle this year for the Broncos, who otherwise send a relatively small 6A lineup on the court every night out.

Feureborn scored nine first-half points against the Panthers on 3-5 field goal shooting. For the game he went 3-6 from the free throw line, which he admitted is an improvement for him.

The Broncos have looked inside to score more and more as the season progresses, and Feureborn said his teammates have urged him to take a larger role on the team.

"David Balenseifen told me after he broke his hand that I need to step up and focus more, and that's what I've tried to do," he said.

Feureborn missed the Broncos' first-round win at the Anadarko tounament Thursday with an ear and sinus infection, but he said he hopes to be back for the rest of the tournament, which was postponed due to the ice storm.
