What they’re saying

“These three guys are very deserving of their recognition as they helped us to a conference championship and another season of more than 20 wins. Each would tell you their teammates had a great impact in their individual success. Being a conference champion has involved the seen and unseen efforts of our whole roster.”

— Austin Johnson, Head Coach (dailyfly.com)

“Very deserved for John despite missing a handful of games. In many ways this team has taken on his identity of toughness and teamwork. He has been the anchor for us on both sides of the ball. Hard to find a more complete competitor in our league as he takes on a ton of the workload for both our offense and defense.”

— Austin Johnson, Head Coach (dailyfly.com)

“Dylan has really come on down the stretch of the season. His ability to get open and find space has helped him become one of the premier shooters in our league. Along with his improved offensive game it has been just as important to see him maintain a high level of diversity on the defensive end as we've asked him to defend a multitude of skillsets throughout the year.”

— Austin Johnson, Head Coach (dailyfly.com)

“Brandon has been a sparkplug for us off the bench all year. His offensive versatility and ability to create for his teammates has helped sustain us through many games. He brings an energy that impacts our team on and off the court. He has embraced his role and the responsibility that comes with it as well as any player we've had at LC.”
