Bluffton College senior basketball player Chad Cramer (Bellevue) has been named the Heartland Conference Player of the Week for his efforts in Bluffton's last three games.

Cramer was named the Most Valuable Player of the tournament as he scored 25 points and added 12 rebounds to lead BC to their third straight tourney title and seventh straight win, which ties a school record. In the opening night game he scored 12 points and grabbed seven boards. Cramer also helped lead Bluffton to a 65-62 win over Earlham on Dec. 20 with five points and four rebounds.

Bluffton is now 8-2 and will travel to Mount St. Joseph on Wednesday night for their first HCAC game of the season.
