MOUNT BERRY, Ga. - Men's basketball's historic season lives on with their squad being awarded the NABC Team Excellence Award. The team's three seniors, Braxton Benham, Parker Godwin, and Jacob Morgan, were all named to the NABC Honors Court for their outstanding work on the hardwood and in the classroom.

The NABC Team Academic Excellence Awards recognize programs that completed the 2024-25 academic year with a team GPA of 3.0 or higher. The NABC Honors Court, meanwhile, includes junior, senior and graduate student men's basketball players who finished the 2024-25 year with a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher.
