Hurst really took a leadership role for the Chargers this season, helping the squad earn the top spot in the postseason. A scoring machine, the junior has recorded 208 made field goals this year (11th in the country) for a total of 558 points (23rd in the country). His 21.5 points-per-game rank first in the conference and 38th in Division III. Consistency is key as he has scored double-digits in all 26 games this year, has hit the 20-point mark 19 times and the 30-point mark twice. His attention to defense has served him well too, racking up a league-leading 54 steals this season. This year, Hurst collected Offensive Player of the Week honors five separate times while being tabbed the United East Player of the Year and a D3hoops.com All-Region First Teamer.

Simpson left it all out on the court in his final year as a Highlander. The guard knew how to get to the rim as his 20.3 points per game ranked second in the conference as did his 567 points scored. Simpson got defenders into fouling situations as well, scoring 156 points from the charity stripe which topped the conference and ranked 12th in all of Division III. The Atlanta, Ga. native had range as well, scoring 63 3-pointers which ranked second in the United East. Simpson hit the 20-point mark 16 times this year including a season-best 30 in a contest against McDaniel. He’d finish the year earned First Team All-Conference honors as well as D3Hoops.com All-Region Third Team honors.
