Trey Sims was named as an NAIA All-American for the 2007-08 season

Kansas Wesleyan’s Trey Sims has been named as an NAIA All-American in Men’s Basketball for the 2007-08 season. Sims’ Honorable Mention All-American honor is the third men’s basketball All-American honor for the Coyotes in the last two seasons.

Sims becomes KWU’s eleventh NAIA All-American during the 2007-08 sports season.

Sims (6-0, G, Jr., Tulsa, Okla. / Sterling College (Kan.)) earned his second straight nod on the All-KCAC First Team earlier this month. Through the end of the regular season, Sims was ranked second in the KCAC in overall scoring at 16.2 points per game. He was also ranked in the top ten of every overall statistical category in the conference except rebounds per game, where he was ranked no.17 and assists per game. Sims equaled those feats in conference play only as well, finishing the season ranked third in the conference in scoring at 15.5 per game, and finding himself ranked in the top ten of every statistical category except rebounds and assists.

Kansas Wesleyan finished the season 14-14 overall after playing one of the most difficult slates in NAIA Division II this season. The Coyotes finished league play tied for second at 12-6 and were the three seed in the KCAC Post-Season Tournament, where they dropped a quarterfinal match-up to McPherson on February 28.
