Ryan Bright,
Aaron Wade, Jejuan Plair receive All-Southland
Conference men's basketball honors
March 6, 2007
Ryan Bright, Aaron Wade, and Jejuan Plair, who led
Sam Houston State to a 21-8 regular season record
and their second consecutive Southland Conference
runner-up finish, have been named to the 2007
All-Southland Conference squad.
Bright, a 6-6 junior forward from Deer Park, is a
first team selection and was the runner-up in the
voting for Southland Conference men's basketball
player of the year.
Wade, a 6-7 senior post player from Plano, is a
second team selection. Plair, the Bearkats' 6-1
senior point guard from Killeen, was a third team
choice. The 22 players on the 2007 All-Southland
squad were selected by vote ot the league's head
coaches and sports information directors.
Bright led the 2007 Bearkats in scoring (14.6) and
rebounding (8.0) and was a three-time Southland
Conference men's basketball "Player of the Week"
selection. He scored in double figures 23 times this
year and has become the 20th Bearkat to score more
than 1,000 career points.
“Ryan has had another big season for us," SHSU head
coach Bob Marlin said. "He has been a consistent
performer for us.”
Wade, who moved from forward to center after a
pre-season injury to John Gardiner, has become one
of the team’s top scoring threats. He averaged 11.9
points per game and ranked third d in the Southland
in three point shooting.
“Aaron has had a great year. Forced to play center,
he has been a consistent scorer and a leader on the
floor," Marlin said. "Normally, he guards the other
team’s post player and has done well despite the
height disadvantage.”
Plair ranked second in the league in assists (5.8)
and averaged 10.9 points per game.He scored in
double figures in 16 games this season.
“Jejuan has done a great job leading this team,"
Marlin said. "He has scored less than last year, but
gets the ball to other players to put them in
position to score. He has a great work ethic and
brings strength and athleticism to the floor for
us."
