Player of the Week: Tre­Vion Crews

MISHAWAKA—This week’s Player of the Week is a star-ath­lete from our bas­ket­ball team, Tre­Vion Crews, a ju­nior sports man­age­ment ma­jor who re­cently reached the thou­sand-point mark in his bas­ket­ball ca­reer. 

 “It means a lot to me be­cause I have only been able to play one full year,” Crews said. “Right now, I’m go­ing into my sec­ond half-year [of play­ing bas­ket­ball], so it is nice to know I can put the ball in the hole pretty good.” 

Crews cur­rently plays as a guard for Bethel; not only was he able to reach his thou­sand-point mark, but he was also the fourth quick­est per­son to do it in Bethel’s bas­ket­ball his­tory. 

Crews started play­ing bas­ket­ball when he was in sec­ond grade. He is from Fort Wayne, In­di­ana, and he at­tended North Side High School. Crews came to Bethel be­cause his brother, Trey’von Cov­ing­ton, at­tended Bethel. Ad­di­tion­ally, he was re­cruited by the pre­vi­ous men’s bas­ket­ball coach, Ryan Light­foot, who gave him a sec­ond chance at play­ing col­lege bas­ket­ball. Aca­d­e­mics do not come easy for Crews, so he is proud of be­ing able to stay el­i­gi­ble to play bas­ket­ball for as long as he has been able to.
