The NJCAA Region XX basketball committee released the All-Region honorees on Friday. Potomac State College's Breland Walton was named to the men's All-Region XX Division II first team while Cortney Walton earned an honorable mention nod. On the women's side, Alexis Turner was named to the All-Region XX Division II honorable mention team.

Breland Walton, a sophomore forward, averaged a double-double on the season with 18.1 points and 11.6 rebounds per game. In 23 games this season he shot 58.8 percent from the field. A strong inside presence helped Breland to a 4.1 offensive rebounds per game average. He converted 94-142 free throw attempts for a 66.2 percent average.

Cortney Walton, a sophomore shooting guard, averaged 13.5 points per game and shot 43.8 percent from the field. He started all 27 games this season and led the team in minutes played with 543. A deadly outside shooter, he hit 68 of 176 three-point attempts for a 38.6 percentage from behind the arc.

The Waltons are cousins and both from Woodrow Wilson High School in Beckley, W.Va. Coach Neil Epstein isn't surprised they are receiving recognition. "They are both great people, they are hard workers", said Epstein. Speculating about the Walton's future, Epstein added, "Both Breland and Cortney have a lot of Division II programs interested, I expect that is where they'll be playing next."

Alexis Turner, a freshman point guard from Keyser High School, averaged 9.8 points per game and 4.3 assists per game in her first season running the Catamount offense. A surprisingly effective rebounder for a guard, she averaged 5.3 rebounds per game. Turner led the team in steals with 29 for the season.

Speaking about Turner, Coach Larry Kruk acknowledged the value she added to the team this season, "Lexi's all-around play helped the team in an immeasurable number of ways, she was a vital part of our success this year," said Kruk.
