- Aside from the
team’s outstanding performance as Runners-up at the NAIA Men’s
Basketball National Tournament, several players also received
individual honors in recognition of their accomplishments during the
tournament and throughout the season.
Senior
forward Chase Verba was chosen by Huntington University’s coaching
staff to receive the NAIA Champions of Character award. It is an
award given to one player from each team represented at the NAIA
National Tournament. The Champions of Character program emphasizes
the five core values of respect, responsibility, integrity, servant
leadership and sportsmanship. The recipient is a player that best
represented those values throughout the season.
The NAIA
National Tournament Committee selected sophomore forward Doug Sheckler
as the recipient of the tournament’s Hustle Award and juniors Alex
Kock and Kyle Ganton were both named to the All-Tournament team. The
NAIA also released its postseason awards and Kock and Ganton garnered
All-America honors as well for their outstanding seasons. Kock, the
Mid-Central Conference’s Co-Player of the Year, was a First Team
selection and Ganton was named to the Second Team. |
