SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Freshman forward
Andre Makris (Southbury, Conn.), crowned this
year’s Commonwealth Coast Conference Rookie of the Year,
headlined a group of four Endicott men’s basketball players
who were named to the All-CCC Team this morning as it was announced
by league commissioner Gregg M. Kaye.
Voting for the All-CCC Team was conducted by the league’s
head coaches and was based off a player’s performance over
the entire season, not just against conference opponents.
Makris, a four-time CCC Rookie of the Week honoree, ended the
regular season averaging 13.2 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 1.3 assists
per game as the rookie appeared in all 25 games for the Gulls this
season. He led all CCC freshman in scoring during the regular
season and ranked ninth among all players. He is also in the
top-10 in rebounding. Seventeen times this season he scored
in double figures and four times he recorded a double-double.
Defensively, Makris led the team in blocks (43) at 1.7 per game
which also ranked him top-50 in the country in that category.
He also recorded steals on the season.
Junior guard Lance Greene (Dorchester,
Mass.) was named First Team All-CCC for the second year
in-a-row after posting averages of 12.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.1
assists and 2.0 steals per game. Greene ranked third in the
league in assists behind CCC Player of the Year Ryan Birrell from
Salve Regina and Max Barbosa from Eastern Nazarene. He set
career-highs in assists in a season (98) and single-game highs in
assists (9 vs Roger Williams on 12/3).
Endicott’s three All-CCC Honorable Mention honorees were
Makris, sophomore guard Lachlan Magee (Melbourne,
Australia) and freshman guard John Henault
(Lunenburg, Mass.). All players are first time
winners.
Magee is Endicott’s leading scorer at 13.6 points per game
and ranks in the top-10 in the CCC in scoring, free throw
percentage (66.2) and defensive rebounding (4.0). He was a
CCC Player of the Week winner after posting a career-high 34 points
with 12 rebounds in a 78-60 Endicott win over Emmanuel on December
13th. Magee led the Gulls by scoring at least 20
points in a game five times this season.
Henault, a two-time CCC Rookie of the Week winner, was the top
freshman in three-point percentage (40.8), three-pointers made (42)
and free throw percentage (80.9) this season. Like
Endicott’s other All-CCC winners, Henault started in at least
80.0% of his games played in 2011-12 while averaging 12.5 points,
3.0 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.6 steals per game.
Endicott has not had four players earn All-CCC since the 1998-99
season when Player of the Year Eric Simonelli, Rookie of the Year
Jamal Francis, and Second Team honorees Jason Diaz and Adam
Lattanzi accomplished the feat.
The \#3 seed Gulls will host \#6 seed Roger Williams tonight at
8:00 pm at MacDonald Gymnasium in the CCC Quarterfinals. Last
year, Endicott edged Roger Williams 71-68 in overtime in the
quarterfinals to reach the semifinal round.
