Ward Named to D3Hoops.com All-South Region First Team

Oglethorpe University sophomore forward Todd Ward of Venice, Florida has been named a member of the 2009 D3Hoops.com All-South Region First Team. Players were nominated for these awards by the Sports Information Directors at the various schools and all SIDs in the region were given the opportunity to vote. Ward is only one of five players in the entire South Region to receive the illustrious First Team status.

Ward led the Petrels in a bevy of statistical categories this season including scoring, rebounding, field goal percentage and blocked shots. The athletic 6'5" forward poured in 17 points per game while connecting on 56% of his shots from the field. Additionally, Ward grabbed 10.2 rebounds per game to lead the entire Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference.
 
Only one underclassman, junior Clay Henson of Guilford, received more votes than Ward, making Ward a leading candidate for All-South Region Player of the Year in the upcoming 2009-2010 campaign.
