CHARLOTTE -The awards keep rolling in for West Bladen grad Sayaun Dent who Wednesday was named the 2019-20 NJCAA Division III Men’s Basketball Player of the Year presented by TicketSmarter.
Dent led the Sandhills Community College Flyers to the NJCAA Division III Men’s Basketball Championship scoring 27 points in the title game and leading the team in points (17.8) and rebounds (8) per game.
Monday the sophomore guard was named First Team All-American. Dent had already been chosen as the Most Valuable Player in the national tournament.
“I would like to thank the NJCAA for selecting me for this award,” said Dent in a NJCAA press release. “Nothing would have been accomplished this season without the support of my family, my coaching staff, and the great administration at Sandhills Community College. We had a great season with a great bunch of guys. They bought in from day one, worked tremendously hard and were a true team!”
Dent had earlier been named the Region X Player of the Year and to the All-Region X team.
