Jovain Wilson, a driven and dedicated third year guard for the Fleming Knights, has been named the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association’s Men’s Basketball Player of the Year at the Belairdirect OCAA Basketball Championship banquet in London.

Leading his Peterborough based team to a 15-5 record to finish fourth in the East Division, the Pickering, Ontario native also led the division in scoring with a 22.93 points per game average and finished second overall in league scoring. Not only known for his scoring prowess, Wilson is also a tenacious defender, leader and sportsman and his excellent all-around play earned him a spot as a First Team All-star. Jovain also garnered his first nod as an All-Canadian and will now travel to Calgary where he will be one of the finalist for the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association (CCAA) National Player of the Year award.

“His competitiveness has been second to none and his desire to improve himself and the people around him is evident from the turn around the Fleming Basketball program has made since his arrival,” said head coach Bill Crowdis about his star player. “He has set a standard for his teammates to strive for and has lead by example of what a true “student”-athlete is. He maintains excellent grades and has developed into a true leader both on and off of the court.”

David Korenic of the St. Clair Saints was also named as a 2010 All-Canadian after leading the OCAA league in scoring, averaging 26 points per game. The fifth year veteran finishes his collegiate career with 2034 Career Points at St. Clair College which stands 2nd in all-time Saints history. He finished with 1366 OCAA Regular season points which stands sixth all-time.

Wayne Dawkins of the Seneca Sting was named as the OCAA’s Coach of the Year after leading his team to a 17-3 record and second place finish in the East Division. Dawkins has also produced two award winners this season in First Team All-star Vadim Halimov and All-Rookie team member Felix Adjei. Dawkins has been named as a finalist as the CCAA Coach of the Year to be announced in Calgary at the National Championship All-Canadian Banquet.
