Nov 6, 2008 Bears Have Trio Honored For Academics GREELEY, Colo. - The College Sports Information Directors of
America (CoSIDA) today named three Northern Colorado
student-athletes to ESPN The Magazine All-District teams. Both Max
Hewitt and Tim McGraw were named to the Football District VII First
Team, while Allison Raguse was named to the Volleyball District VII
Second Team.
To be eligible, a student-athlete must be a starter or important
reserve with at least a 3.30 cumulative grade point average (on a
4.0 scale) and must have participated in at least 50 percent of the
team's games. District VII includes teams from the states of
Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota,
South Dakota and Wyoming.
Hewitt, a sophomore safety from Aurora, Colo., has a 3.36 grade
point average in accounting. On the field, he is tied for the team
lead with three interceptions and is second on the team with 52
tackles. He also has a blocked punt and two pass break ups this
season.
McGraw, a sophomore center from Castle Rock, Colo., has a
perfect 4.00 gpa in business administration. He has started five
games this season, missing two to injury but has helped the Bears
average more than 100 yards of offense better than a year ago.
Raguse, a junior middle blocker from Lincoln, Neb., sports a
3.91 gpa in psychology. She has started in every match and is
hitting .339 while averaging 2.75 kills and 0.85 blocks per game.
She has been named the Big Sky Conference player of the week twice
this season and ranks among the league leaders in several
categories.
Raguse and the rest of the volleyball team play at Portland
State tonight and face Eastern Washington on Saturday evening,
while Hewitt, McGraw and the rest of the football team host Eastern
Washington Saturday at noon.
