FOREST, Va. --- Virginia Wesleyan College guard
D.J. Woodmore was named the Kurt Axe Memorial Player of the Year by
the league's head coaches to lead the 2014 ODAC men's basketball
all-conference awards. Randolph-Macon College mentor Nathan
Davis was tabbed the Bob Johnson Coach of the Year. VWC guard
Khory Moore garnered ODAC Rookie of the Year honors, and Washington
and Lee University forward Drew Kimberly was selected as the
ODAC/Farm Bureau Insurance Scholar-Athlete Award recipient.
Woodmore, a senior from Virginia Beach, Va., is a three-time
All-ODAC First Team honoree. This is the second time he has
won the ODAC's top player award, adding this year's accolade to the
one he earned in 2012. He was also tabbed the conference's
top rookie in 2011. Woodmore enters the ODAC Men's Basketball
Tournament second in the conference in scoring at 20.4 points per
game. He's already collected a career-best 509 points this
season, giving him 1,844 for his career to rank second all-time at
VWC. Woodmore leads the ODAC in three-pointers made (75) and
is third in three-point shooting percentage (44.9%), both career
bests. He's recorded a trio of double-doubles and scored over
30 points twice, including a season-high 34 markers at Mary
Washington in December.
Davis, in his fifth season guiding the Yellow Jackets, enjoys his
first ODAC top coaching honor since returning to his alma mater in
2009. Since that time, Davis has racked up a 113-34 (.769)
career record, won a pair of ODAC titles (2011 and 2013), made
three appearances in ODAC championship games (2010, 2011, 2013),
and four trips to the NCAA Division III Tournament, including a
national semifinals berth in 2010. This season, R-MC enters
the ODAC tournament as the top seed with a 20-5 overall record, the
only squad to reach 20 wins so far this year.
Moore, a freshman from Arlington, Va., stepped into the Marlins
rotation and added production from the perimeter. Moore is
averaging 10.4 points per game for second-seeded VWC entering the
tournament, having knocked down 44 three -pointers, which sits
ninth in the league. In 22 games played, he scored in double
figures 10 times, including a season-high 21 points where he buried
5-of-7 three-pointers against Guilford in January.
Kimberly, a senior from Fairfield, Conn., maintains a 3.696 grade
point average as a Computer Science and Mathematics
double-major. A perennial member of the W&L Dean's List
and All-ODAC Academic Team, Kimberly garnered Capital One Division
III Academic All-District honors, making him eligible for Academic
All-America consideration. On the court, Kimberly averages
14.0 points per game and is fifth in the ODAC in rebounding at 8.1
boards per contest. He's fourth in the league in field goal
shooting (58.5%) and fifth in blocked shots (23). He's
recorded eight double-doubles this season, good for fourth in the
conference.
