Former Cholla basketball standout Lual Magot named KCAC All-Conference

By Andy Morales

Posted on March 2, 2020

Former Cholla standout Lual Magot was named to the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference Men’s Basketball All-Conference Second Team for McPherson College. The senior was a unanimous selection.

This list will be updated all year in an effort to recognize all former local prep stars who have gone on to achieve either academic and/or athletic awards at the next level. These are not high school awards but collegiate and professional recognitions. NOT CHAMPIONSHIPS. If you are aware of anything I have missed along the way, please let me know.

We’ve recognized 22 athletes so far this year. We recognized 195 athletes in 2019.
