Dillard University basketball players fresh from their Gulf Coast Athletic Conference wins are still receiving honors. An All-American player is one of the best players in the country based on his individual performance and how he has contributed to the success of the team. Charles Hightower received this honor in the 1979-80 season. Lonke was also named to the NAIA s the All Academic Team.
Lance is an exceptional player both on and off the court.
This is an exciting time for Dillard University basketball to have a player with such immense talent. We stress academics and our players work hard on the court and in the classroom, said Steve Martin, athletic director. Lance is a consummate player and we are very excited that he has another year here at Dillard. Lonke, who also led the nation in rebounding, said he is thrilled with the recognition. It s quite an honor actually.
