LCSC's Gordy is named
first-team All-American
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -
Lewis-Clark State College
senior Mike Gordy earned
first-team NAIA Division I
Men's Basketball All-America
honors on Tuesday, the
organization announced.
Gordy, a 6-foot-5 forward
from Denver, Colo., was a
second-team selection last
season. He was the only
member of either the first
or second team from last
year to earn first team
honors this season.
The NAIA All-America teams
are selected by the NAIA
Men's Basketball Coaches'
Association All-American
Committee. Westminster
sophomore guard Danny Reeder
was a third-team selection,
while Rocky Mountain's Chase
Sukut earned honorable
mention honors. They were
the only two Frontier
Conference players outside
of Gordy to earn honors.
Gordy had a remarkable
season for LCSC, which went
22-10 and won both the
Frontier Conference regular
season and tournament titles
for the second straight
season and qualified for the
NAIA national tournament.
Gordy was named the MVP of
the Frontier Conference for
the second straight season
and also was the MVP of the
conference tournament.
Gordy finished the season
ranked fourth in the NAIA in
field goal percentage and
seventh in scoring.
Gordy started all 32 games
for the Warriors this season
and led them in scoring at
20.8 points and in rebounds
at 5.8 per contest. He made
238 of 392 shots from the
field for 60.7 percent
accuracy and was even
21-of-53 from the 3-point
line for nearly 40 percent.
Gordy also shot more than
twice the number of free
throws than any one else on
the team and was 170-of-228
at the line for 74.6
percent.
Gordy, who played at
Northern Colorado for two
seasons before transferring
to LCSC, also finished third
on the team in assists with
51, and was fourth in steals
with 29.
