As the regular season has come to a close, here’s our 1st team All-Big South selections and Freshman, Coach, & Player of the Year selections:
1st Team All-Big South
Jeremy Atkinson – UNC-Asheville
John Brown – High Point
Saah Nimley – Charleston Southern
Stan Okoye – VMI
Anthony Raffa – Coastal Carolina
Freshman of the Year
John Brown – High Point
Brown really had no competition for this award. He should be a forced to be reckoned with for his next 3 seasons with the Panthers.
Coach of the Year
Chris Holtmann – Gardner-Webb
Gardner-Webb was predicted to finish 5th in the Big South’s South Division in the preseason poll. The Runnin’ Bulldogs received 0 votes to finish in the top 3 of the 6 team South Division. Holtmann does not have any players who are receiving serious interest for 1st Team All-Conference, yet he guided the Runnin’ Bulldogs to their first winning conference record in their 6 years in the Big South.
Player of the Year
Stan Okoye – VMI
The Preseason Player of the Year was arguably the best player all season long. Okoye put up freakish numbers, and will go down as one of the best to ever play at VMI.
