Charnwood are just a win away from claiming the North Conference, with their latest victory coming after a 98-49 triumph over BMET City of Birmingham Rockets.
The top vs bottom clash got out of hands due to a stunning 40 point effort from Edward Onyia, who repeatedly found a way to hurt the Rockets on offence, shooting at a 65% clip that included 4/6 from beyond the arc.
Doing his damage in just 27:57 of action, Onyia also added nine boards and two assists to his 42 efficiency outing, impressing as the playoffs move into view.
Speaking about the game, Onyia said: "I’m very honoured to be receiving this award again, I’m thankful that my hard work has been showing through in games and I want to keep putting in the work and getting better."
Charnwood head coach Louis Chamberlain added: "It was a huge performance from Edward in the last game against Birmingham.
"He showed his versatility with both an inside and outside presence. It was a pleasure to witness his 40 point performance from the sideline."
