🔼 Power Pair. It was quite a week for the Troy basketball programs with not one, but ✌️ Trojans picking up Sun Belt Conference Player of the Week accolades.

On the men’s side, Tayton Conerway’s career week earned him the honor, while a double-double average gave Zay Dyer the recognition on the women’s side.

🔼 Class Acts. The season may be in the rearview mirror, but the accolades continue to pile in for the Troy football program.

This week, five players earned a spot on the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Team as KC Bradford, Tyler Cappi, Caleb Chappelle, Peyton Higgins and Landon Parker were honored for their work in the classroom and on the field.
 
To be eligible for the honor, the student-athletes must have a 3.50 cumulative GPA and have appeared in 90 percent of the institution's matches or must have started in at least 66 percent of the institution's matches. 

🔼 Golden Tones. He’s been the Voice of the Trojans for over 20+ seasons.

He’s brought the Troy family so many exciting memories over the years and this week, Barry McKnight was honored for his work, being named co-winner of the Alabama Sportscaster of the Year by the National Sports Media Association (NSMA).

Today’s Trojan Top Performance, brought to you by Conecuh Sausage, is none other than Troy women’s basketball star Zay Dyer. After averaging a double-double last week, Dyer became the second Trojan to be named Sun Belt Conference Women’s Basketball Player of the Week.
