DAHLONEGA – University of North Georgia (UNG) men's basketball player AJ White has been voted this week's Chick-fil-a Nighthawk of the Week.

In the overtime win over LMU, White erupted for a career-best 37 points before scoring 16 in the win over the Mountain Lions. He was the Nighthawks' leading scorer in both games.
