Tyree Myers (Augusta) - Highlights from the Post Season
Augusta's 2019 march to a Peach Belt Conference regular season and tournament championship, along with a third round NCAA tournament finish, produced a slew of individual awards for its players and for head coach Dip Metress. But even though freshman point guard Tyree Myers wasn't one of the five Jaguars recognized at the PBC awards banquet, the rookie played an immeasurable role in Augusta's 28-6 season, which ended when a 15 game winning streak was finally snapped by Southeast Region champion Queens.
It was during Augusta's best post season run since 2011 when Myers played the best basketball of his young college career. He averaged 16 points and 5 assists while shooting 65% from the field and 70% from three point range. Myers is one of five returning players who played at a high level during the most crucial moments of last season's championship run, a fact Jaguar fans everywhere cite as reason to be optimistic about the prospects for next season's defending Peach Belt Conference champions.
