For 2007: Terran Duncan is top woman basketball player; John Wethington is top women's basketball coach, and Chris Wells wins second Sports Information Director Award in Mid South Conference

FRANKFORT, Ky. -- The Mid-South Conference handed out their basketball and cheerleading awards over the weekend at the Capital Plaza, and two Lindsey Wilson College Blue Raiders received top honors.

Lindsey Wilson junior Terran Duncan was MSC Women's Basketball Player of the Year, as voted by conference coaches. And the coaches named Lindsey Wilson women's basketball coach John B. Wethington the conference's coach of the year.

Lindsey Wilson Sports Information Director Chris Wells was named the 2007 MSC Sports Information Director of the Year, as voted by his peers. It is the second SID of the Year award for Wells.



For Duncan, the award is the first player-of-the-year award of her career.

Duncan, of Edmonton, Ky., averaged a team-best 15.5 points per game to help the Blue Raiders to the program's first MSC regular-season title.

Duncan -- who is third in the MSC in points and field goal percentage (54.9 percent) -- also repeated as an all-conference first team performer from last season.

Lindsey Wilson junior Krystal Jackson joined Duncan on the all-conference team. Jackson is third on the team in scoring (8.9 points per game) and leads the team and is second in the conference in assists (4.6) entering postseason play.
