Lacey, WA – Saint Martin’s Blake Poole earned a Division II Bulletin All-American honorable mention nod for his outstanding performance this season.
Poole finished the season ranked third in the nation, first in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference, in rebounds per game, averaging 12.2. He led the conference in scoring with 21 points per game, 19th nationally. His field goal percentage of 60.7% was also tops in the GNAC and 23rd in the nation.
Earlier this month Poole was also named to the Daktronics West Region team as well as the Great Northwest Athletic Conference first-team.
“This is another well deserved honor for Blake,” said head coach Keith Cooper. “He had a great year but instead of resting on his laurels he is working hard this spring to have an even better senior year individually and as a team. Blake is a team first guy and understands that for him to be among the top All-Americans next year we have to have a top team. He and his teammates are working hard and are committed to making that happen.”
