ALLIANCE, Ohio – Mount Union junior forward
Elijah Farrington (Massillon / Massillon Washington) has been named D3hoops.com First Team All-Region 7.
Farrington played in 26 games, starting 25 this season for the Purple Raiders. He averaged 15.7 points per game and 8.2 rebounds per game, while also recording 55 assists, 21 steals, 19 blocks and shooting 55-percent from the field this season. Farrington was also a First Team All-Ohio Athletic Conference selection and was named the OAC Player of the Year this season.
It's the 25th season D3hoops.com has named All-Region teams.
Division III basketball is organized into 10 regions. A region with 40 teams or more has three All-Region teams honored, while a region with fewer than 40 teams has a first and second team. This organization results in approximately 10 additional players being recognized when compared to full seasons in the old eight-region alignment.
Players from these lists are eligible for the D3hoops.com All-America teams. The women's basketball All-America team will be released March 21, at the national championship game, and the men's basketball All-America team will be released in the following week.
