With the sub-state round of the state playoffs in the books, the NCAA has released its all-league teams, featuring three Southeast of Saline Trojans on the first team and two more on the second-team.
First team All-NCAA honors go to Trojan senior Jaxson Gebhardt, and a pair of SES sophomores in Nakari Morrical-Palmer and Eli Sawyers.
In his final season in the purple and white, Gebhardt averaged 12 points, three rebounds and two assists per game, and was undoubtedly one of the peskiest defenders in the league.
Morrical-Palmer and Sawyers, who will return to the team next season, added 23 points per game to the mix and were first and second on the team in rebounds hauling in 14 boards per game between them.
Collecting All-NCAA second team honors were two more Southeast seniors in Camden Spano-Lund and Bryant Banks.
Spano-Lund averaged double digit scoring for the Trojans in their 2020-21 campaign while Banks made his contributions doing the dirty work for SES, and playing in a number of different roles throughout the season.
The Trojans finished their 2020-21 campaign 14-8 and 7-2 in league play. They are also the only team in the North Central Activities Association to have five representatives among the all-league first and second teams.
