UM’s Cherry honored for defense ability

BOSTON — University of Montana junior guard Will Cherry has added another award to his resume, as he is one of 20 play­ers named to the 2012 CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Defen­sive All-America team, the organization announced recently.

Cherry was recently one of 25 players named to the 2012 Lou Henson Mid-Major All-America team, and he was also selected to the 10-player All-District VIII basketball team by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association (USBWA).

Cherry, a 6-foot-1 guard from West Oakland, Calif., was named the Big Sky Conference’s “Defensive Player of the Year,” and was a unanimous first team all-league pick. He aver­aged 15.8 points, which ranked him fourth in the league.

Cherry has a school-record 223 career steals, which ranks him fifth on the Big Sky’s all-time list. He has 1,191 career points, which ranks him 14th in school history.

Cherry was the only player from the Big Sky named to the defensive All-America team.
