Record 3 All-Region men’s hoops honors for Red Hawks

HICKORY, N.C. — The Catawba Valley Community College men's basketball team made program history this season with a record three All-Region 10 performers.

Sophomore guards Jaylen Prioleau, Derrick Molden and Donovan Evans were all honored with All-Region accolades — the first time the CVCC men's basketball team has received three all-conference awards.

Prioleau, a Florence, S.C. native, was chosen second team All-Region. He led CVCC with 9.9 points per game and 7.3 rebounds per game this season.

The 6-foot-3 point guard also led CVCC in rebounds (118) assists (39), steals (27) and blocked shots (9).

A Manchester, Conn. native, Molden was named third team All-Region after recorded 8.0 points and 4.4 rebounds per game. The 6-foot-4 guard finished second on the team in field goal percentage (44.5 percent) and third in 3-point percentage (33.3 percent).

Evans, who is from Raleigh, N.C., finished second for the Red Hawks in scoring at 9.7 points per game. The 5-foot-9 guard also made a team-best 31 3-point field goals while shooting 32 percent from 3-point range.

Behind these three All-Region performers, the Red Hawks finished their 2020-21 season with a 13-7 overall record — winning seven of the final nine games.
