ANNOUNCES WINTER 2006-07 ALL-ACADEMIC TEAM
 Birmingham,
AL -- The Gulf South Conference proudly
announces its 2006-07 Winter Sports
All-Academic Teams. 22 student-athletes
were selected: as representatives of the
East and West Division of both men's
basketball and women's basketball were
chosen.
The Winter All-Academic Team is selected
by the Gulf South Conference Sports
Information Directors (SIDs) and Faculty
Athletic Representatives (FARs) in a joint
vote. Nominees must meet all three of the
following qualifications to appear on the
ballot: 1) an overall grade point average
(G.P.A.) of 3.20 or better on a 4.00 scale
for their entire academic career, 2) a
starter or significant contributor to the
squad, and 3) leadership, academic
curriculum and community service.
Four players were tabbed to the East
Division Men's Basketball All-Academic
Team. Alabama-Huntsville placed three of
the four, as guard Jason Smith, forward
Jordan Brewer and guard Kael Coleman were
all chosen.
North Alabama guard Kenny Johnson rounded
out the East Division All-Academic Team.
Johnson played in all 29 contests and
started 20. He averaged 7 points and just
over 2 rebounds a game during his
sophomore season. He shot 41 percent from
the field, 37 percent from the 3-point
line and 85 percent from the free throw
line for UNA this season, and was second
on the team with 74 assists on the year.
Johnson posted a career high with 17
points and 6 rebounds versus Harding and
played all 45 minutes in the contest. The
Louisiana native nailed the game winning
basket versus Arkansas Tech with 10
seconds to play in the game. Johnson had
15 points, 8 assists and 3 rebounds
playing all 40 minutes.
Kenny is majoring in Computer Information
