Chris Hunter's biggest performance as a Bear not only helped Southwest defeat Jones 26-23 Saturday during Homecoming but it also garnered national recognition.
 
Just a day after earning MACCC Football Offensive Player of the Week, Hunter was named the NJCAA Football Division I Offensive Player of the Week following his 27 carry, 180-yard, three-touchdown performance against the Bobcats which also included the game-winning score on a short run with just under :30 to go.
 
The Bears wrap the 2025 campaign Thursday at 6:30 p.m. in Decatur at East Central.
