Blaylock Repeats as NABC All-American

Oskaloosa–Kevion Blaylock (Sr., Houston, Texas, Information Technology) departs the William Penn men’s basketball program as the most lauded player in its history and he added to his award collection as the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) announced its All-America team last weekend.

Blaylock was one of 12 players chosen for the squad, earning his second laurel from the association. The award is Blaylock’s fifth in his career and it is the 33rd in Statesmen men’s basketball history.

Blaylock averaged a double-double this year with 20.8 points and 10.2 rebounds. He shot 58.2% from the field (32.1% 3-PT) and 76.0% from the free-throw line. The senior also posted 66 assists, 28 steals, and 23 blocks this year.

Blaylock ranked 18th in the NAIA in scoring and 19th in rebounding, including being 10th in defensive rebounding with 7.9 boards per contest. He hit double figures in all 33 games this winter and concludes his time in the navy and gold in seventh place on the career scoring list with 1,463 points.
