Northern Essex Community College men’s basketball Coach Darren Stratton was named HoopDirt.com’s JUCO Coach of the Week for last week.

This marks the third consecutive year in which Stratton picked up the weekly award during the course of the season presented by Just Play Solutions. He will now be eligible of consideration for national coach of the year honors.

Stratton led the Knights to a pair of home victories last week over #9 nationally ranked Quincy College and UConn Avery Point, which at the time ran the teams win streak to 21 games and 46 straight home court victories going back over the last three seasons.

The Knights have two games remaining in the regular season when they travel to Springfield Tech and Quinsigamond this week and currently sit tied atop the top of the Region 21 standings. A pair of wins will secure the Knights the post-season tournaments top seed for the third consecutive season.

Northern Essex currently sits at 23-3 on the season and 18-2 in conference play.
