Former Putnam Science Academy stand out Jose Perez led the Gardner-Webb Bulldogs to big wins this last week helping earn him the Big South Freshmen of the Week. The PSA alum from the Bronx, N.Y., scored 17 points in both wins and went on to average 8 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game. Perez also picked up a triple-double, the program’s first triple-double in almost two decades, racking up 17 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in a 97-60 win over Savannah State. Jose has relished in his role for the Bulldogs coming off the bench yet leading Gardner-Webb in scoring six times in nine games.
