A pair of basketball standouts are the Hawai`i Hilo Pepsi Athletes of the Week for the second week of November.

Sophomore post Allie Navarette helped lead the Vulcans to a pair of home victories to open the 2018-19 season this past week at the Civic Auditorium. In the first of two wins over Multnomah, the Torrance, Calif. native had 18 points (7 of 11 shooting) and six rebounds. One night later, she posted her first double-double of the season with 14 points and 14 boards, and she also had four blocked shots and a pair of steals. An honorable mention All-PacWest honoree as a freshman, Navarette is currently averaging 16 points and 10 rebounds a game.

Senior transfer James Griffin made a splashy debut in three games last week as the Vulcans tipped off the season. The West Liberty University graduate had 23 points each in victories over Alaska and Simpson, while also pulling down six and eight rebounds respectively in those contests. For the week, the Australian had 58 points (19.3 ppg), 19 rebounds (6.3) and eight assists as the Vulcans got out of the gate with a 2-1 record.

Both teams will now take Thanksgiving week off and prepare for November 29 (Hawaii Pacific) and December 1 (Chaminade) PacWest opening games on Oahu.
