 Clark State Star G Earns All OCCAC, All Region as Masteller Makes First Team 

Alstork a Finalist for Coach of The Year  

Did He Get Snubbed?

With the college hoops season coming to a close, the Clark State Eagles did have a couple of players who were honored last week.

Isaiah Masteller, the dynamic combo guard, was honored as a first team All OCCAC performer this season.

Masteller had four 30-point games and two 40-point games. He had a stretch where he was averaging 35 ppg for a 4-game stretch. He dropped 39 against Cuyahoga in final game of the season. He also aberaged 40ppg vs Hocking, who tied for the OCCAC regular season title. 

Masteller, the Anna graduate who is a freshman,  was clutch down the stretch when the Eagles were nearly making history with a run that had never been done before. 

Clark State finished one spot out of a Regional Championship and had their best record ever. 

Here are the 1st and 2nd team All-OCCAC Selections.

"I'm extremely proud of Isaiah and what he did for us and himself this season." Coach Alstork stated. 

As far as Alstork, he would fall in the Coach of the Year sweepstakes to Lakeland head coach, who tied with Hocking to win the OCCAC League. But it brings up a interesting question.

Did Alstork Deserve the Coach of the Year nod?

He took the Eagles to their best season ever, and defeated #13 ranked Lakeland along the way. This happened without a legitmate guy over 6'6 on the roster.  

Clark State swept Edison State for the first time in history. They also had the highest scoring team in the league and Top 5 in the country (92ppg). Add multiple winning streaks of 3 games or longer, and you have a legitimate gripe if you are Clark State and coach Alstork.

By the end of the season, the Eagles had 7 players and had multiple injuries come along. Despite all of that, Alstork and Masteller led a new era for Clark State mens basketball.  

And don't forget, the administration blew a game by not turning in the official scorer on time. So Clark State was officially 16-12 before that forfeit took place. 

Congrats to Masteller on his selection and Coach Alstork on changing the culture in his first season.
