Ottumwa -- Regular-season conference champion Indian Hills Community College had one player on the first team, one on the second team and three on the honorable mention list of the All-Region 11 basketball team announced by the Iowa Community College Athletic Conference.
The Warriors’ Larry Stone was the lone IHCC player on the five-player first team. Stone, a sophomore guard from Indianapolis and a transfer from IUPUI, was the second-leading scorer for Indian Hills with an 11.3 average. He also led the team in three-point field goals with 57.
Stone really came on in the second half of the season. He averaged 16.8 points a game in conference games, fourth in the league. Stone’s scoring average over the last half of the season was 15.0 and he scored in double figures in 13 of his final 15 games. His high game of 28 points came in a road win at Southeastern in the regular-season finale.
IHCC’s season scoring leader, Dijon Farr, was a second-team all-conference choice. Farr, from Pacolet, S.C., started all 33 games in his freshman campaign and averaged 11.9 points a contest. He was seventh in scoring in conference games (11.7) and also scored 10 or more points in 13 of his last 15 games. For the season, he reached double-figure scoring in 24 of 33 games. Farr also averaged nearly four rebounds a game.
The Warriors making the honorable mention all-league list were sophomore guards Dwan McMillan and Aaron Austin and freshman forward Bruno Ferreira.
McMillan, a Brooklyn, N.Y. native, averaged 9.9 points a game and led the team in assists. Austin, from Newport News, Va., was third on the Warriors in scoring at 10.6 and was second in assists. Ferreira is from Sao Paulo, Brazil. He was IHCC’s leading rebounder, averaging over five boards a game, and also averaged five points a contest.
Joining Stone on the all-conference first team are sophomores Norvell Arnold and Steven Baker from Southeastern, and freshman Tyler Brown and sophomore Will Clyburn from Marshalltown. Clyburn led Region XI in scoring in conference games at 22.2 and Arnold was second at 20.8.
The second team includes Anthony Salter, Shay Shine and Petey Hausley, all from Iowa Western, and Southeastern’s Jeron Lee along with the Warriors’ Farr.
Named honorable mention all-league are Henrique Medeiros, DeMarcus Phillips and Michael Appel from Marshalltown, Rinaldo Mafra and Paris Gulley of Southeastern and Charlie Westbrook from Iowa Western in addition to the trio of Indian Hills players.
SCC’s Arnold was a repeat selection on the all-conference first team. Shine dropped from the first team last year to second team this year. The other first-team pick from last year who returned this season was Marshalltown’s Phillips who missed all but one regular-season conference game with an injury. IHCC All-Americans Dwight Buycks and Dwight Hardy were the other first-team choices last year.
