The Gulf South Conference placed four players and the Coach of the Year on the 2008 NABC Division II South Region All-District Team

GSC Players of the Year, Casey Holt from North Alabama (East Division) and Matt Hall from Harding (West Division) led the way with First Team honors. Holt helped lead UNA to its first NCAA Elite Eight since 1996. Holt is also currently 10th on UNA’s all-time scoring list with 1,205 points. He has been the leader of this year’s team.

A five-year member of the program, he suffered a tear in one of his feet last season in the fifth game and missed the rest of what would have been his senior season. His point total for this season is more than he had in scored in his three-plus seasons at UNA (580).

Holt claimed player of the week honors three times during the regular season and made the all-tournament team in the NCAA South Regional Tournament. He had a streak of 20 straight double-figure games dating back to December 3 that ended when he had just four points on senior night against West Georgia.

He also recorded the school’s first triple-double in recent history against Carver Bible College. Holt has scored 20 or more points 12 times this season and has five games with 30 or more points. He has recorded a double-double on eleven occasions this season.

Matt Hall finished his career at No. 2 in the GSC in scoring (2,227), while also becoming just the third player in league history to win three Player of the Year accolades.

The Conference also added two players on the Second Team. Christian Brothers' Kevin Weybright wrapped up his career, climbing to No. 7 in the GSC career scoring list (1,972), while leading the Bucs to their first-ever NCAA berth. Valdosta State's Devario Hudson completed his career, ranking second in the league in rebounding (9.7) and eighth in scoring (16.5).

Last, but not least, UNA Head Coach Bobby Champagne was named Coach of the Year after leading the Lions to the GSC East Division crown and berth in the Elite Eight thanks to the 2008 NCAA South Region Championship win over Benedict.
