CHARLOTTE, NC -The Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) announces the 2021-22 Men’s Basketball All-CIAA team, All-Rookie team.

Blue led the CIAA in scoring during the regular season with 18.9 points while ranking fourth in the conference at 7.4 rebounds per game and ninth with 2.7 assists per contest. The Princeton, NJ native shot over 48 percent from the field and nearly 74 percent from free throw, good for fifth and 11th best in the league respectively.

One of the top two-way players in the CIAA, Blue totaled a CIAA-best 143 defensive rebounds and averaged 1.5 steals per game, which ranks top five in the conference. The 6-4 guard has the individual single-game high for points (32 against University of the Sciences) and rebounds (19 against Shaw) in the CIAA this season.

Fayetteville State (Jalen Seegars and Cress Worthy), Virginia State (Terrence Hunter-Whitfield and Francis Fitzgerald), Virginia Union University (Robert Osborne and Jordan Peebles), and Winston-Salem State (Javonte Cooke and Cameron Campbell) lead the way with two men’s selections each. Augustine Ominu (Johnson C. Smith), Navar Elmore (Livingstone), and Dhashon Dyson (Saint Augustine’s) round out the men’s team as eight of 12 schools were represented.

Seegars and Peebles are the only returners from the 2019-20 team while Campbell receives recognition for the second time after being recognized initially following the 2018-19 season.

Navar Elmore of Livingstone College was selected as CIAA Men’s Defensive Player of the Year. Elmore, a Branchville, SC native, leads the CIAA at 2.8 blocks per game and ranks top five in the conference at 1.4 steals per game.
