1) Most Improved - Gordon, Neumann, Skinner, Cochran, Collins, individually for their improved skills and confidence as the season progressed, but especially collectively, due to the way they really took team play/defense/unselfishness to a new level in our history. This year it has been about synergy.
2) Unsung Hero - Swinton, because he gave us exactly what we had to have in moments of great need; Allen because he did the same.
3) Future Star - Jackson and Brooks, and watch out for McKnight and Sawvell.
4) Most Heart - Garcia, for his heroic play with an injured jaw, without any complaint whatsoever.
5) Foxhole - Garcia, Cochran, Skinner.
6) Leader - Skinner, Cochran, Garcia.
Hard not to mention Coach Young and the outstanding staff that worked so well together. Really outstanding group.
And we would be remiss if we do not give a shout out to Hauser, Henson, and Shaunessy, who do a better job of covering a college basketball program than anyone else we know.
