KOHL RECOGNIZED IN THE PRESEASON
Sophomore Jordan Kohl was recognized by the Sun Belt Conference in a preseason poll of the league’s coaches. After being selected All-Sun Belt Conference Second Team as well as the SBC Freshman of the Year last season, the SBC coaches tabbed Kohl as part of the Sun Belt’s All-Preseason Team.
TEXAS STATE TABBED SECOND
The Bobcats finished second in the Sun Belt Conference last season and took home the SBC Tournament Championship the season before. Both seasons ended with appearances in the championship match for Texas State, and a poll of the Sun Belt Conference coaches indicates it will happen yet again. The Bobcats were selected to finish second in the Sun Belt this season by a preseason poll of the SBC coaches. Texas State was slated just behind defending conference champion Little Rock, but still garnered three firstplace votes. WWW.TXSTATEBOBCATS.COM
