Posted 3/19/08 Shawn Greenfield selected to the Region XX Division 1 All tournament team.
A 6’0 freshman, Greenfield led the third seeded Lakers to a 75 – 71 win in the opening round game of the Region XX tourney against host and number two seed,  Hagerstown CC.  Greenfield led the Lakers scoring with 24 points, 3 assists and 4 rebounds.  He added 13 points and three steals in the loss to top seed Chesapeake CC in the championship game.  Laker coach Dennis Gibson agreed with the selection; “Shawn did a great job for us this weekend.  He played as he usually does in the game against Hagerstown, he steps up to the pressure of big games.  In our game with Chesapeake in the championship, he was the one that finally got us going offensively.  We did not play well as a team, but he tried to pick us up and get us going offensively.” 

Posted 3/19/08 Two Lakers honored with Region XX Division 1 honors:
Shawn Greenfield received high recognition from the Region XX Division 1 coaches as he was voted to the 1st team Region XX.  Greenfield led the Lakers in scoring this season with a 15 ppg average.  Glen Izevbigie, 6’9 sophomore center, was selected to the second team.  Coach Dennis Gibson felt both players very deserving;” I could not agree with these selections more.  Shawn has been our offensive catalyst all season and was definitely one of the top guards in our league.  I am also appreciative that the coaches recognized Glen, he has done a great job for us.  A center is often like an offensive lineman in football, they do a lot of the dirty work and get little recognition, but Glen was very important to us throughout the season.  He is a great team guy and too unselfish.  The best thing is, both of these guys epitomize what JUCO is all about.  They do things the right way.”

Sophomore Dale Taylor has been selected to the MD JUCO second team by the league coaches.  Taylor averaged 12 ppg and 3 rbpg this season, but is best know for his long range three point shooting ability and athletic forays to the basket.  Dale connected on 38% of his shots from outside the arc, finishing with 58 on the season.  Coach Gibson was pleased that Dale’s efforts had been recognized, “Dale is a gifted athlete and our fans loved to see his highlight dunks.  It is a high honor to be voted to the MD JUCO team by the MD JUCO coaches, I felt that this may have been one of the deepest levels of talent I have ever seen in the MD JUCO.”

LAKERS TO SALUTE FORMER COACH DAVE MARTIN

(McHenry) – The Garrett College Lakers will salute their long time assistant coach Dave Martin prior to their game with Howard Community College on Saturday, December 1, 2007 at 7:00 PM.

Martin passed away on June 22, 2007, after a long battle with cancer. He had been involved with the Garrett program as a player in the early 1970s, then rejoined the team as an assistant coach in 1986.

“For the members of our team over the last twenty plus years, Dave was a great mentor who exhibited commitment and loyalty,” said head coach Dennis Gibson. “Those qualities are the basis of great teams and successful lives.

“Our community knows that Dave was a great friend, a man of faith and an outstanding public servant. We were fortunate to have him in our program, and he left such a positive impression. It would be wrong to let that influence end with his passing.”

All friends and fans are invited to attend the game. There will be no admission charged, but there will be a box at the entrance to the gymnasium for those who wish to donate to the David K. Martin Scholarship Fund, with the first recipient being Dave's son, Ryan.

There will be a brief presentation and dedication prior to the Star Spangled Banner, which will feature a recording of Martin performing with the Broadford Quartet.
Brenda's Body Shop will be performing at halftime.

“This is a celebration of what Dave Martin meant to us,” said Gibson. “He certainly wouldn't want it to be a sad occasion, so with that in mind, we're hoping to have a lot of smiles and fond memories.”

Conway commits to Fairmont State, WV
Daniel Conway, 6’5 sophomore guard, has committed to continue his basketball career with D-2 power Fairmont State University, Fairmont, WV.  Conway played one year at Garrett and will have two years of eligibility remaining to play for the Falcons.  Garrett College coach Dennis Gibson is happy with his choice, “Daniel is a good fit for Fairmont.  He brings a lot of athleticism and versatility to the lineup.  For the most part of the year he was our leading scorer, and I am sure he will be successful in the WVIAC.  I know the coaches there well and Daniel will fit right into their style of play.”  Conway will have the opportunity to play against former Lakers now in the WVIAC including Jerome Jack, Davis & Elkins, Hrvoje Muhek, Ohio Valley College, and Barry Cornish at Shepherd University.  “The WVIAC is one of the top rated Division ll conferences in the country, so I am sure this is a good fit for our players.  We are very comparable to that level of play as far as the MD JUCO is concerned so the adjustment is not that difficult.  It is really great that so many former Lakers have received scholarships and will be able to compete against each other”, added coach Gibson.
