Three Dawson Men’s Basketball Players Named All-Region XIII
Seth Amunrud, Justin Asi and Jordan Jasper were all named to the NJCAA Division I All-Region XIII team. The three Buccaneers led Dawson to a 29-4 record on the season as well as the Mon-Dak Tipoff Tournament Championship, Mon-Dak Conference Championship and the Region XIII Championship. It was a historic season for the high flying Bucs as they won the 2nd most games in program history and broke the record for the highest scoring average in the 67 year history (101 ppg).
In addition, Amunrud was named the Region Most Valuable Player. In 27.1 minutes per game, he averaged 21.1 ppg, 5.7 rpg, 3.5 apg, and 2.8 spg while shooting 55.2% from the field, 46.8% from the 3-point line, and 88.7% from the FT line. Amunrud led Dawson in scoring, defensive rebounds, assists, assist to turnover ratio, field goal percentage, 3 point percentage, free throw percentage and steals.
Justin Asi averaged 17.9 ppg and 6.1 rpg while shooting 53.7% from the field and 39.9% from 3-point range. He was the 5th leading scorer in the conference, 7th leading rebounder, 7th in steals, 9th in field goal percentage, and 5th in 3-point percentage. Asi was also All-Region last year. Asi scored in double figures in 32 of their 33 games and scored over 20 points eleven times. His season high was 31 points.
Despite missing nine games due to injury, Jordan Jasper still received All-Region recognition. He averaged 14.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.7 steals while shooting 52.9% from the field and 42.3% from the 3-point line. He led the conference in assists and was 4th in steals. Jasper also finished in the top ten in four other categories. Jasper came up big in the regional semifinals against Miles Community College with a near triple double of 20 points, 9 steals and 8 assists.
Dawson Coach Joe Peterson was named the Region XIII Coach of the Year. This was the fourth time he has earned that recognition.
"These three guys have put in the time and have gotten so much better during their two years at Dawson," explained Dawson Coach Joe Peterson. "Jordan and Seth didn't even make all-conference or all-region as freshmen, but their hard work paid off. You love to see that as a coach. They've set a great example for the younger guys in our program and for the ones coming in the future."
