Sam Houston State's Clavell and Coach Marlin Earn SLC Honors
Sam Houston State's 14-2 regular-season conference record (in the Southland Conference) earned the team the number one seed in the Southland Conference Championship as well as some top notch individual honors.
Gilberto Clavell, junior forward, was named the Southland Conference Newcomer of the Year. Head coach Bob Marlin earned conference Coach of the Year honors; and, in addition to Clavell, two other Bearkats (senior guards Ashton Mitchell and Corey Almond) were named to the All-Southland Conference First Team.
Clavell not only helped Sam Houston State win its third regular-season conference championship, but also helped it reach the Southland tournament for the eighth consecutive season as well. The junior from Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, averaged 16.9 points and 6.5 rebounds per game to lead the Bearkats. Clavell, a transfer from Collin County Community College, paced the Bearkats in scoring 13 times this season and had 11 20-point games. He topped 30 points three times, scoring 34 in a win at Auburn in December and a season-high 35 in the regular-season finale against Texas State.
Marlin earned his third coach of the year honor after guiding Sam Houston State to its third regular-season conference championship. Now in his 12th season in Huntsville, he also was voted coach of the year in 2000 and 2003 after guiding the Bearkats to regular-season championships, as well. With a 22-7 overall record, Sam Houston State is one of 51 programs in the country to have won at least 20 games in four of the last five seasons. Marlin is 222-130 with the Bearkats and has a 16-year career record of 345-165.
The 2010 State Farm Southland Conference Basketball Tournament will be played this week at the Leonard E. Merrell Center. Four men's quarterfinal games will be played Wednesday beginning at noon with semifinal games Thursday at 6:05 p.m. and approximately 8:33 p.m. The championship game will be played Saturday at 3:05 p.m. and televised on ESPN2.
