Eight Swamp Foxes Receive
All-State Awards   

Eight members of Waycross College’s men’s basketball team have recently been honored with All-State awards for 2009-2010 by the Georgia Basketball Coaches Association (GABCA).

Josh Mendenhall, a freshman from Greenville, S.C., was named Newcomer of the Year.  Mendenhall played in all 30 regular season games and averaged 8.27 points and 6.07 rebounds per game.

Brandon Hosely, a sophomore from Jonesboro, Ga., was named to the GABCA All-State team.  Hosely, WC’s leading scorer, averaged 18.1 points per game.  He was named first team All-Region for the Georgia Junior College Athletic Association and finished second in the nation in average steals per game.

Three players received honorable mentions – Marcus Benitez, a sophomore from Stone Mountain; Austin Collins, a sophomore from Blairsville; and Travis Ellison, a sophomore from Mableton. 

Mendenhall, Hosely, Benitez, Collins, and Ellison were the original starters for the Swamp Foxes during the team’s inaugural season.

Four players received All-Academic honors from the GABCA – Tarrence Chatman, a freshman from Macon; Blake Fussell, a freshman from Douglas; Jacob Mitchell, a freshman from Callahan, Fla.; and Collins.

The GABCA’s All-State awards cover three divisions – NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, and a combined division of NAIA/Junior College.  The Swamp Foxes received awards in the NAIA/Junior College category.
