NEWPORT NEWS, Va. - Two members of the Christopher Newport University men's basketball squad were recognized Wednesday as the Virginia Sports Information Directors (VaSID) released their annual All-State teams. Sophomores Jahn Hines and Trey Barber were both named second team All-State.

Hines, from Norview High School in Norfolk, was named third team All-American by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC).and led the Captains in scoring this season. He was also named All-Region by D3hoops.com following his outstanding season. Hines was voted the Player of the Year this season in the Coast-To-Coast Athletic Conference, and was also selected the MVP of the Coast-To-Coast Athletic Conference Tournament. He averaged 15.3 points per game and also pulled down 6.9 rebounds per contest.

Barber, from Woodbridge, Va., finished second in the nation in total blocked shots, rejecting 106 in 30 games played. He averaged 3.53 blocks per game, fourth in the country. In addition, Barber averaged 10.9 points and 8.0 rebounds per contest for the Captains, and shot 56 percent from the field, leading the squad in that category as well. Barber was voted the Coast-To-Coast Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year, and was a first team conference selection.   

Hines and Barber helped lead the Captains to a 27-3 record and a trip to the Elite 8 of the NCAA Division III Men's Basketball Tournament. Christopher Newport won 24 straight games before falling to Marietta in the NCAA Sectional final in Ohio.
