Angelo State guard
Trey Mays was one of two Lone Star Conference players named to the Capital One Academic All-District Six men's basketball team as announced by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) on Thursday. Mays earned a second-team selection in the college division.
Mays, a senior from Houston, sports a 3.32 cumulative grade point average (GPA) in finance and was joined on the second team by Central Oklahoma's Tyler Phillips. For the last two seasons, Mays has served as Angelo State's Student Athlete Advisory Committee President, elected to the position by his peers.
Mays recently scored a career-high nine points while helping Angelo State earn a 82-73 win on the road at Texas A&M-Kingsville (1/19) and his steady contributions have helped the team win five of the last seven contests. The former walk-on has emerged as one of Angelo State's fiercest defenders at both guard positions and helped defend the post in ASU's recent upset of No. 13 Incarnate Word (1/29).
“
Trey Mays epitomizes what it means to be a student-athlete, he's a winner,” Angelo State head coach
Fred Rike said. “If I ran a company or corporation, I'd hire him today. Trey is very conscientious; he's a very hard worker. He's one of the hardest working guys that I've ever coached and he demands a lot of himself.”
Mays, who averaged 3.6 points per game and 2.3 rebounds per contest through the team's first 18 games, chipped in seven points at Southwestern Oklahoma (1/12) while contributing to an ASU defensive effort that led to the lowest total points against (38) in school history. He helped the Rams defeat then-No. 23 Midwestern State with six points four days later (1/12).
