KANSAS CITY, MO – St. Francis College Brooklyn men's basketball guard Chauncey Hawkins, guard Stevan Krtinic, guard Larry Moreno, and forward Vuk Stevanic all earned National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Honors Court recognition as announced by the organization.
 
The four Terriers were honored by the NABC for their academic excellence this past academic year. To be named to the NABC Honors Court, a student-athlete must meet a high standard of academic criteria. Student-athletes must academically be a junior or senior and a varsity player, record a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher after the 2020-21 academic year, and matriculated at least one year at their current institution.
 
"We are extremely proud of our guys for receiving the prestigious NABC Honors Court recognition. This honor is a testament to their work ethic, character, and academic prowess. We take great pride in our student-athletes excelling academically, and we congratulate Chauncey, Stevan, Larry, and Vuk for their continued success," said Terriers' Head Coach Glenn Braica.
 
It was the second time that Hawkins claimed NABC Honors Court status (he previously was named to the NABC Honors Court in 2019-20), but Krtinic, Moreno, and Stevanic were all first-time recipients of the award. They join Matt Milk (2013-14), Glenn Sanabria (2016-17), Gunnar Olafsson (2016-17), and Jagos Lasic (2016-17), who previously earned the award for the Terriers.
 
A total of nine NEC men's basketball student-athletes were named to the NABC Honors Court. The Terriers accounted for four of those nine members. Hawkins, Krtinic, Moreno, and Stevanic were joined by Justin Connolly (Merrimack), Ryan Miller (Merrimack), Daniel Henry (Saint Francis PA), A.J. Labriola (Saint Francis PA), and Bryce Laskey (Saint Francis PA).
