DeMarcos Anzures might be the Player of the Week in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference, but he is the player of the year to the Metro menâs basketball team.

Anzures won the weekly RMAC award Jan. 25 after leading his team to back-to-back victories over Regis University and Colorado Christian and a leap four spots in the Division II national ranking to No. 21.

The 5-foot-11-inch point guard scored 22 in the Regis game and 27 against Christian. He hit seven three-pointers in the two contests combined.

Anzures ranks near the top of every statistical category on the team. He leads the conference in steals and is sixth in scoring.

And now he is being asked for his autograph after games.
 

A mob of 15 to 20 children crowded around the sophomore following the Regis game while he was being interviewed by the radio staion that broadcasted the game.

ãThat was something else,ä Anzures said. ãThis is like the first year that we have had kids come out and support us.

ãItâs cool, and we came to play.ä
