NABC names all-district teams, coaches of the year
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The NABC has released the 2023-24 NABC Division I All-District Teams and District Coaches of the Year, with the District 21 teams comprising 10 Southern Conference student-athletes and Samford's Bucky McMillan named the District 21 Coach of the Year.
The All-District honors are voted on by NABC-member coaches across NCAA Division I.
SoCon Player of the Year Vonterius Woolbright of Western Carolina was joined on the all-district first team by Furman's JP Pegues, UNCG duo Mikeal Brown-Jones and Keyshaun Langley and Samford's Achor Achor.
The second team included Mercer's Jalyn McCreary, Samford's Rylan Jones, Chattanooga's Trey Bonham and Honor Huff and Wofford's Corey Tripp.
Langley earned his second straight first-team all-district selection, while Woolbright was a second-team pick last year.
McMillan led Samford to its first outright SoCon regular-season championship this season as well as the Bulldogs' first SoCon tournament title since the program joined the league in 2008.
No. 13 seed Samford, making its first NCAA appearance in 24 years, will take on No. 4 seed Kansas in the first round of the NCAA Division I Basketball Championship on Thursday in Salt Lake City, Utah, at 9:55 p.m. ET on TBS.
