Lee senior Ryan Montgomery was named First Team South All-District by the National Association of Basketball Coaches, the organization announced last week.
Montgomery was a key cog in a historic 2019-2020 season that saw the Flames set a program high in wins (22), earn their first GSC Tournament victory and receive their first NCAA National Tournament berth.
“I'm really proud of Ryan and how hard he has worked over these last four years,” said Lee head coach Bubba Smith. “Four years ago Ryan was a great athlete trying to figure out the college game. Now he's made himself into a player that can have a career in the sport if he chooses to do so.”
Montgomery was named to the All-GSC First Team and D2CCA All-South Region Second Team after posting 18.1 points and 5.9 rebounds per game.
“Ryan's a special player, but more importantly he's even a better person, leader and role model. He's as talented and unselfish as any player I've ever coached. His team witnessed what servant leadership looks like, and he's left an indelible mark on Lee men's basketball,” noted Smith.
