ree Fayetteville Tech men's
basketball players were named
to the All-Region 10 Division II
team for the 2021 season.
Tyreik McCallum earned
second-team honors, while
Donte Johnson and JeKael Gay
made third team.
All sophomore forwards, the
trio played a key part in the
Trojans' success this season,
which ended April 3 with the
program's second straight
appearance in the regional
quarterfinals.
"Tyreik has been an all-
around producer for us," head
coach Brian Hurd said.
"Donte turned into a consis-
tent presence on offense and
defense. And JeKael has really
made the most of his experi-
ence at the two-year level, on
the court and in the
classroom."
McCallum and Johnson each
landed in the top five among
all NJCAA Division II players
in field-goal percentage, with
McCallum's 68.8 percent land-
ing him third on the list and
Johnson holding the No. 5 spot
at 65.5 percent.
McCallum led the Trojans in
scoring and rebounding for the
season, averaging 14.5 points
and 7.5 boards per game.
e 6-foot-4 Lumberton na-
tive's totals came despite an
abbreviated 11-game season,
cut short due to injury with five
games left to play.
Johnson scored 10.8 points
and pulled down 5.1 rebounds
per game. Late in the sea-
son, the 6-foot-5 post player
showed a penchant for accu-
racy from 3-point range, going
5-for-6 in the last four games
and finishing the season shoot-
ing 63.6 percent from behind
the arc.
Gay, who like Johnson is a
Greene Central High School
product, made perhaps the
biggest strides year-over-year
of any player on the Trojans'
roster.
He averaged 13.3 points on
the year and 4.3 rebounds and
added another dimension by
developing his 3-point shot. He
shot 45.5 percent on 3-point-
ers, second in Region 10 DII
behind teammate Chance
Minott.
