NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Freed-Hardeman Lions were well represented in the TranSouth Conference's post-season awards that were released on Tuesday, March 4, with Coach Jason Shelton and eight players receiving various honors.
Zack Frey, Kristoffer Smith, and Jesse Moulton were all selected to the all-conference team. It was the first time that FHU placed three players on the all-conference squad since 2003.
Frey, a 6-foot-8 junior from Nashville, Tenn., was named to the first team for the second year in a row. He averaged 17.9 points per game during conference play while shooting 59.7 percent from the field. Smith and Moulton were both second-team selections after averaging 12.9 and 12.5 points per game respectively in conference play. Smith, a senior, was also named to the second team as a sophomore in 2007. Moulton was one of only two sophomores to receive the honor this year.
After guiding the Lions to a 22-8 regular season record and 13-3 conference record, Shelton was named the TranSouth Conference Coach of the Year. This year, the Lions have received their first national ranking since 2003 and set a school record for conference wins in a season. Shelton is in his fourth season at Freed-Hardeman.
Anthony Sampson was one of six players to be named to the conference's all-freshman team. The 5-foot-3 guard from Jackson, Tenn., averaged 1.5 points per game in conference play and gave the Lions a spark off the bench at the point.
FHU also had five players named as TranSouth Scholar Athletes: Vincent Barnes, Brian Pearson, Logan Greer, Zack Frey, and Wesley Mayes. To be named a scholar athlete, players must be a sophomore, junior, or senior and carry at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA.
