Missouri Southern junior big man Cam Martin has been named a first-team All-Region selection by the Conference Commissioner's Association as announced by the organization today.
Martin, a 6-9 native of Yukon, Okla., was a first-team All-MIAA selection this season and was a member of the All-MIAA Tournament Team. Martin was an All-Region and All-American selection last year. This is his second-straight first-team All-Region selection. Martin's name now goes on the All-American ballot for consideration.
This season, Martin leads the MIAA scoring, rebounds, defensive rebounds, double-double's free throw attempts and free throws made, total field goals made, total points and total rebounds, while ranking second in blocks, field goal percentage, total blocks and total field goal attempts.
Martin is averaging 24.1 points and 9.2 rebounds per game this year, while shooting 58 percent from the field and 81 percent from the free throw line. He has a team-high 46 blocks and is third on the team with 61 assists.
Martin currently has the MSSU top career scoring average at 23.3, while ranking third in career field goal percentage (.594) and fifth in free throw shooting (.815). Martin set the MSSU single-game scoring record at Missouri Western this season as he scored 54 points against the Griffons. The 54 points is the most scored in Division II this year and Cam is one of only four players to hit the 50-point plateau this year. Martin has two of the top-eight scoring games this season in Division II.
