Zuby Ejiofor Wins Haggerty Award

St. Johns senior forward Zuby Ejiofor, a six foot nine Garland, Texas native, has been named the Lieutenant Frank J. Haggerty Award recipient, the top honor for the metro areas best college baller. This marks the second consecutive year for St. Johns, following RJ Luis Juniors win last year. Ejiofor led the Red Storm to a thirty-win season, Big East regular season title, tournament crown, and a Sweet Sixteen run, their first in twenty-seven years. He averaged sixteen point three points, seven point three boards, three point five assists, and two point one blocks per game, topping his squad and cracking the conference top ten in all those stats. Ejiofor also earned Big East Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, and Most Outstanding Player in the tournament honors, along with Naismith Center of the Year and academic All-American nods. The awards dinner takes place tonight in Tarrytown, New York, where Ejiofor and the full All-MET teams, including first-teamers like Bryce Hopkins from St. Johns and coaches of the year from Hofstra and Seton Hall, will be celebrated.
