Travis McKie Named to ACC All-Freshman Team McKie leads all ACC rookies in rebounding and is second in scoring

Travis McKie is on pace to become just the 10th freshman in ACC history to lead his team in both scoring and rebounding.

March 7, 2011 2011 All-ACC Teams WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Wake Forest forward Travis McKie has been named to the ACC All-Freshman Team, as announced by the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association on Monday. McKie received 74 out of a possible 75 votes to make the All-Freshman Team. North Carolina's Harrison Barnes was the only unanimous selection to the team. McKie currently leads the Demon Deacons in both scoring (12.9 points per game) and rebounding (7.6 rpg). He is on pace to become just the 10th freshman in ACC history to lead his team in both scoring and rebounding. The Richmond, Va. native leads all ACC rookies in rebounding, double-doubles (6), double-figure scoring games (23) and times led his team in scoring (13). He ranks second among the rookies in scoring, trailing only UNC's Barnes. McKie is one of two freshmen, along with Barnes, ranked in the top 20 in the ACC in both scoring and rebounding. McKie ranks in the top 20 in the ACC in four categories: rebounding (6th), defensive rebounds (7th), free throw percentage (10th) and scoring (16th). A three-time ACC Rookie of the Week, McKie is on pace to tie Tim Duncan for the second-most games started by a Wake Forest freshman (32). McKie has scored in double figures 23 times this year, including five 20-point performances. He closed the regular season with a career-best 23 points on Sunday at Boston College. This marks the fourth straight season that Wake Forest has been represented on the ACC All-Freshman Team. McKie is the 11th Deacon to earn the honor since its creation in 1993. Wake Forest will open the 2011 ACC Tournament on Thursday, March 10, when the No. 12-seeded Demon Deacons take on the No. 5-seeded Boston College Eagles. Tip-off is scheduled for 2 p.m. at the Greensboro Coliseum.

Talk about it in BASKETBALL - BOYS AAA

Look for the name Trey Harrison to start appearing on college recruiting list as the junior from Varina looks like a player to keep an eye on. He was the Blue Devils leading scoring during the 3-day Benedictine Capital City Classic and he had a game-high 16 against Cathedral a team from Canada. 

Harrison (6-foot-3) is a shooting guard and he has a smooth style and a soft touch from the outside. He works hard to get open and he doesn't force shots when he is not open.

"He just knows what he is supposed to do when he gets out on the court," Varinahead coach Matt McKeag said. "He's go a great outside jump shot as well as the ability to put it on the floor and finish and that's a great combination for him to have to attack. I think he will be a go-to guy for us down the stretch."

"The best part about his game is his mind. He has a really high basketball IQ," McKeag said. "He understands when and where to pick his shots on the offensive end and he's a lock down defender."
