AVON, Ohio – The Crossroads League placed eight student-athletes on the 2019 CoSIDA Google Cloud NAIA Men’s and Women’s All-District Basketball Teams on Thursday. Grace, Taylor and Mount Vernon Nazarene each claimed two honors, with Spring Arbor and Saint Francis picking up one award each.
On the men’s side, Crossroads League student-athletes took five of the 10 available spots from Districts I and II, with the CL women taking three-of-10 spots from the 27-states represented in those two districts.
The eight student-athletes will advance to the ballot for CoSIDA Academic All-America honors, which will be announced on March 14. CoSIDA Academic All-District and All-America honors are voted on by CoSIDA members from around the nation.
