We didn’t keep a tally of Kenny McPherson is a fighter. Even though the rebounds weren’t tallied for us to provide a number. I would say he had about 8 rebounds and 4 of them on the offensive end. He will be a key contributor this season and there top rebounder.
BEST GLUE GUY | TREYVON MCDANIEL

Tre Shaw dished out a game high 5 assists. He committed just 1 turnovers as well. The lead guard made intelligent, swift decisions after breaking down the first man. He contributed on the offensive end as well scoring 7 points in some key possessions. The most impressive parts of his game is when during consecutive possessions he was in the paint helping out with the rebounding. Most guards don’t rebound but he was in there fighting.
BEST UNDERCLASSMEN | DONTAE HOLDER
Freshman guard Dontae Holder stands at 5’8 and boy did he have some special moments on the floor. He is a heady guard who can finish at the basket and pushes the ball extremely well in transition. With time he will develop to be a good point guard in the years to come.
