While basketball season may be over in Vienna, a pair of Eagle and Lady Eagle basketball players earned postseason recognition in recent voting by the coaches of the Show-Me Central Conference (SMCC).

In boy’s voting, Eagle junior Teagan James was named the SMCC’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) while fellow junior Hunter Schwartze was named to the All-SMCC Second Team.

Adding 10 rebounds to his season-high point total, James also recorded one of five double doubles on the season.

James’ first double double came during a 55-18 victory over Chamois with 19 points and 11 rebounds. He also dished out a season-high five assists against the Pirates.

During their 77-66 victory over Liberty Christian at the Battle in Bourbon Tournament, James posted his second double double of the season finishing with 28 points and 12 rebounds.

Scoring at least 20 points in 21 games, James led the Eagles in scoring averaging 24 points per game.

He also led the team with 6.4 rebounds per contest.

“Teagan had a great season and was well deserving of being the MVP of the (Show-Me Central) conference this year,” Eagle head basketball coach Chandler Harker said. “He has progressed well at being a more rounded offensive threat being able to score from all three levels.

During SMCC play, James also led the conference averaging 23.8 points per game.

Named to the All-SMCC second team, Schwartze joined James averaging double figures in scoring at 10.5 points per game.

Aside from a 20-point effort against Prairie Home, Schwartze amassed at least 10 points in 13 other basketball games for the Eagles.

“Hunter stepped up in big ways for our team this season,” Harker said. “He was the engine for our team. He progressed well throughout the year leading our team running the point guard position. He also led our team in assists, steals and was second in scoring.”
