Fayetteville, N.C. - The USA South has released its postseason awards in the sport of men's basketball, and N.C. Wesleyan is pleased to announce that four Battling Bishop players have earned recognition. Senior Adrian Moore was named a First Team selection for the third consecutive year, while sophomore A.J. Frye followed up his Rookie of the Year honor with Second Team accolades this season. Also garnering recognition were junior Robert Wilson as an Honorable Mention and sophomore Mitch Layton as a member of the USA South All-Sportsmanship team. The four were instrumental in helping the Bishops secure the program's ninth regular season conference championship this season.

Moore was one again tabbed a First Teamer after leading the team in total points (412), assists (92), and steals (58) thusfar this season. He is currently averaging 15.8 points per game, while his 3.5 assists and 2.2 steals per game both rank among league leaders. The senior from Plymouth, N.C. most recently eclipsed the 1,500-point mark for his career and will graduate as the first player in Wesleyan history to rank in the top-10 all-time in points, rebounds, assists, and steals.

Frye earns his first All-Conference honor after leading the team in scoring during league play at 17.5 points per game. The Wilmington, N.C. native also led the team and ranked second in the conference in field goal percentage at a blistering 63.3 accuracy on the season.
