The National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) recently announced the 2014-15 NABC Honors Court, recognizing those men’s collegiate basketball student-athletes who excelled in academics during the past season, with a record number of 1,000 student-athletes from more than 350 colleges and universities.

The NABC Honors Court recognizes the talents and gifts that these men possess off the court and the hard work they exhibit in the classroom.

Hampden-Sydney had two honorees, as both Greg Lewis (Mechanicsville/Hanover) and Will Scott (Virginia Beach/Cornell) met the criteria for the Honors Court. The criteria are as follows:

1. Academically a junior or senior and a varsity player.

2. Cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.2 or higher at the conclusion of the 2014-15 academic year.

3. Students must have matriculated at least one year at their current institution.

4. Member of a NCAA Divisions I, II, III, or NAIA Divisions I or II institution with a NABC member coach.

Lewis excelled both on the court and in the classroom, scoring 995 career points, averaging 9.0 per-game over four years, and graduating with a major in Economics and Business and a 3.45 GPA.

Scott, a captain this past season, boasts a 3.74 GPA, majoring in Economics.

On the court this past season, he appeared in 23 games, starting in five, while averaging 1.0 points and 1.8 rebounds-per-game.
