Frey named second team NAIA All-American again

Freed-Hardeman University senior Zack Frey became the Lion basketball program's first two-time NAIA All-American after being named to the second team for the second straight year.

The 6-foot-8 center from Nashville, Tenn., posted career highs in both points (17.6 ppg) and rebounds (6.6 rpg) while shooting 58.1 percent from the field. Frey ranked 11th in the NAIA in field goal percentage and 14th in the nation in scoring.

He finished his career with 1872 career points, tying him for sixth all-time in Lion basketball history.

Frey played an instrumental role in helping FHU to its first national tournament appearance in 11 years as the Lions advanced to the tournament in 2009. He also helped lead the Lions to three consecutive 20-win seasons for the first time since 1999-2002.

Frey was one of three players from the TranSouth Conference to be selected to the second team, along with TSAC Player of the Year Brandon Springer of Cumberland (Tenn.) University and Greg Truvillion of Union (Tenn.) University.
