Ontheair "The Lions All-Star Games gives the commu- nity a chance to come to- gether and support high school athletics at its best," said club member James Reimer. "It's a great opportunity for these athletes to play fast-paced games with the best players in the region, and fun for parents, family and friends." Area high school ath- letic directors and coaches nominate players for the All-Star teams. A Lions Club committee sorts through the nominations and works with the volun- teer coaches to form the teams. All-Stars FROM PAGE 1 highlighted by him hitting four quick 3s on the way to 21 points in the Sweet 16 win against Indiana. "Sooner or later," sopho- more Joel Berry II said, "it was going to click." The shooting struggles were a head-scratcher for anyone who had watched North Carolina regularly over the past two years, let alone Paige and coach Roy Williams. He had carried the burden of needing to find his shot quickly to get the Tar Heels moving at full speed, and carried it well. As his shot abandoned him, Paige focused on be- ing one of the team's top wing defenders and on other contributions until he could find it again. And UNC's offense evolved to run first through 6-foot-10 Brice Johnson — named an Associated Press first-team All-American on Tuesday — with Paige in a compli- mentary role. That helped the Tar Heels survive Paige's pro- longed slump, which would've been devastating over the past two years. They could be even tougher to slow now that Paige looks like himself again. "I think he handled it better than anybody I've ever seen," Williams said. "And he believed in what the staff was telling him about how he could still help us and what he was doing to help us. But it was tougher on him than any- body. He's a perfectionist in about everything does." Paige had averaged a career-best 17.5 points as a sophomore and 14.1 points last year while playing with a lingering foot injury. He looked ready for a big year when he scored 20 points in his season debut against Maryland after missing six games with a hand injury. A few weeks later, Paige went for a season-high 30 points at Florida State. And then suddenly, he just couldn't shoot. He made 5 of 35 shots (14 percent) and 1 of 22 3-pointers (5 percent) over the next four games. As the games went on, his shoot- ing didn't significantly im- prove, with home crowds in the Smith Center even- tually holding their breath every time Paige shot in hopes it would be the one that would break him loose. On at least one occasion, Paige looked to the rafters in relief when a shot went through the net. Those days appear to be behind him. "I've always taken pride in trying to be a complete guard, but throughout the middle of the year, I kind of let my shot kind of halt the rest of my game," Paige said. "I was too worried, too much thinking about whether or not I was mak- ing field goals and what my percentage was and all that stuff. ... Just letting all that go was probably the biggest thing that's helped me, especially this month." Tar Heels FROM PAGE 1 MATT ROURKE — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS North Carolina's Marcus Paige shoots against Indiana's Collin Hartman during the first half of the regional semifinals of the men's NCAA Tournament on Friday in Philadelphia. 3-point range. "He has had a fantas- tic year and has been very consistent," Sooners coach Lon Kruger said of the Ba- hamas native who was a third team selection last season. "He worked hard and has that passion and focus that makes him what he is." In the age when one- and-dones usually dom- inate the college basket- ball landscape, Valentine and Hield were joined on the All-America team by fellow seniors Brice John- son of North Carolina and Malcolm Brogdon of Vir- ginia. Sophomore Tyler Ulis of Kentucky rounded out the team. The 2013-14 team had four seniors and a freshman. Valentine and Hield both received 65 first-team votes from the national media panel that selects the weekly poll. The 5-foot-9 Ulis, the shortest All-American since 5-foot-9 Johnny O'Brien of Seattle in 1953, was the Southeastern Con- ference's player and defen- sive player of the year. This is the second straight sea- son Kentucky had an All- American, with Willie Cau- ley-Stein making the team last season. "It was a great year for us," said Ulis, who received 43 first-team votes. "I felt like we went through a lot of ups and downs, had a lot of young players and guys learning how to play the right way. Everybody got better individually." The 6-foot-10 Johnson was a walking double-dou- ble for North Carolina, av- eraging 16.6 points and 10.6 rebounds, and he re- ceived 39 first-team votes. "He's always been a good rebounder. At times he's been a great rebounder," Tar Heels coach Roy Wil- liams said. "One of the top two or three rebound- ers I've ever coached in 28 years. ... And not just how quick he jumps but how high he jumps, too." The last North Caro- lina first-teamer was Tyler Hansbrough, who was an All-American in 2008 and 2009. Johnson and Brogdon gave the Atlantic Coast Conference two first-team- ers for the first time since 2006 when J.J. Redick and Shelden Williams from Duke did it. The 6-foot-5 Brogdon, who was on the second team last season, was the ACC's player and defensive player of the year. He av- eraged 18.7 points and 4.1 rebounds while shooting 40.9 percent from 3-point range. "He's a complete offen- sive player: dribble, pass, shoot. But you have to add his ability to play down the stretch. Clutch play, at the line, making big plays," Cavaliers coach Tony Ben- nett said. "Then defen- sively, you've got to talk about his ability to guard, to rebound, to guard differ- ent players." The last Virginia player to be a first-team selection was Ralph Sampson, who was chosen three straight years, 1981-83. Seven-foot sophomore Jakob Poeltl of Utah led the second team with 41 first- team votes. He was joined by LSU freshman Ben Sim- mons, Kansas senior Perry Ellis, Providence junior Kris Dunn and Iowa State senior Georges Niang. The third team consists of Grayson Allen of Duke, Kevin "Yogi" Ferrell of In- diana, Jarrod Uthoff of Iowa, Kay Felder of Oak- land and Jamal Murray of Kentucky. The voting was done before the NCAA Tourna- ment. All-America FROM PAGE 1 MARK J.
