The Ohio Community College Athletic Association (OCCAC) has named Edison State Community College freshman Clair Schmitmeyer (Versailles HS) the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Division II Women's Basketball Player of the Week for January 8.
Edison State extended its unblemished season record to 15-0 by dismantling Ohio State University–Mansfield, 100-42, on the strength of Schmitmeyer's double-double. The 5-foot-8-inch forward tallied 16 points and a dozen rebounds, including eight boards on the offensive glass, to go along with six steals and three assists.

Schmitmeyer is now averaging 7.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 2.4 steals per game in her first season at Edison State (15-0, 3-0 OCCAC).
