2014 Jostens Trophy Winner
Bonney, a native of Norwich, N.Y., helped lead the
Statesmen to a 22-7 overall record and their second-straight
Liberty League Tournament championship. Hobart then defeated No. 21
University of Scranton in the first round of the NCAA Division III
Men’s Basketball Tournament, 94-81, before falling to
Morrisville State, 86-75, in the second round.
The 2014 Liberty League Player of the Year and a two-time First
Team All-Liberty League selection, Bonney recorded 20.4 points per
game (second in the conference) and grabbed a league-best 11.0
rebounds per contest. He also logged 21 double-doubles, which is
the second best mark in the nation. His 234 field goals made are
the second most by a Statesman in a season, while his 591 points
rank fifth on Hobart's single-season scoring list. Bonney also
holds Hobart career records for points (1,738), field goals made
(680), field goal percentage (.583), and games played (114). He
finished third in career rebounds (951) and fifth in free throws
made (356).
Bonney is just as impressive in the classroom and in the community.
In the classroom, Bonney boasts a 3.88 grade point average as a
philosophy and public policy studies major. He is a two-time
Capital One First Team Academic All-American and was voted the
2013-14 Capital One Academic All-America of the Year for Division
III men's basketball. The three-time Liberty League All-Academic
Team selection is a Druid and Chimera, Hobart's senior class and
junior class honor societies, respectively.
In the community, Bonney has served as a pre-orientation leader for
groups of incoming first-years during each of the past two summers,
volunteering at Habitat for Humanity build sites in Geneva. He has
helped with team basketball clinics in a local elementary school as
well as an annual on campus basketball clinic for Ontario ARC.
