Seven area boys earn all-SICL basketball honors

Lynnville-Sully’s boys basketball team dealt with a lot of adversity this season. From injuries to suspensions, it did not go entirely as planned for the Hawks.

Despite that, L-S finished fourth in the South Iowa Cedar League and reached a substate championship game.

For their efforts, the Hawks placed four players on the all-conference team and junior Conner Maston led the way with a first-team honor.

Colfax-Mingo put three on the all-conference squad with senior Cole Bracewell leading the way for the Tigerhawks.

Joining Maston on the all-conference team for the Hawks were sophomore Corder Noun Harder and seniors Mason Rodibaugh and Ryan Annee.

Bracewell was joined on the all-SICL squad by his brother Cael Bracewell and fellow senior Colton Lind.

C-M sophomore Curtis Horras earned a Golden Award, which goes to players in the conference who could have been all conference if not for an injury.

All-conference honors are based on statistics inside conference play only.

Maston led the Hawks in scoring at 13.4 points per game. He also averaged 5.2 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.6 steals per game.
