DMITROVIC NAMED ALL-AMERICAN |
|
Dmitrovic, a sophomore out of Vrhnika, Slovenia, also received 1st-team All-Red River Athletic Conference honors this season. The 6’10” forward averaged 10.5 points and 9.3 rebounds per game while leading the Rams back to the NAIA National Tournament.
Dmitrovic averaged a double-double in conference play (11.3 points and 10.6 rebounds per game) while leading Texas Wesleyan to an RRAC regular season championship with a 12-4 record. He posted 12 double-doubles this season including a stretch of four consecutive conference games in late February. In addition he approached a triple-double with 17 points, 17 rebounds, and seven assists in a win over Bacone College and 10 points, 14 rebounds, and six assists in a win over Texas College.
He reached double-figures in scoring 18 times and matched his career-high with 20 points in the first round of the NAIA National Tournament against McKendree University.
After two seasons, Dmitrovic is halfway to becoming only the third player in school history, and the first since 1965, to reach the 1,000 point and 1,000 rebound plateaus. The Rams finished the season at 20-12 overall and were ranked 18th in the final regular season poll. With Dmitrovic and six other Rams returning next season, the future is very bright for Texas Wesleyan basketball. |
