Three Golden Tornado players earn post-season recognition

Fresh off a trip to the Class AA state tournament, three members of the Keyser Golden Tornado basketball team received postseason honors on Wednesday.

Preston Hartman, Jeremy Green and Matt Wilmer each earned recognition from the Potomac Valley Conference (PVC) and the Appalachian Mountain Athletic Conference (AMAC).

Hartman was a first-team selection on both the All-PVC and All-AMAC teams, while Wilmer and Green were named first team All-PVC and second team All-AMAC.

Hartman led Keyser this season by averaging a double-double with 19.2 points and 12.2 rebounds per game.

Green was second on the team with 16.6 points and 8.9 rebounds per game, while Wilmer averaged 15.2 points per contest.

Keyser finished the 2007-08 season with a 13-11 record, falling to Ravenswood in the first round of the Class AA tournament in Charleston.
