In a gala event held at Zagames (Main Road) the lads frocked up with their partners for the unveiling of the inaugural Sovereign Knights player awards.

As voted by his peers Mark was deemed the Most Valuable Player to the franchise for his complete skills in strategically leading the team, both offensively and defensively. Mark collected an average 11.5 points per game, pulled down 9.3 rebounds and dish out 3.8 assists on the offensive end.

In accepting the MVP, Mark (the spiritual leader of the club) was very humble at the thought of receiving the award and thanked his team mates for all of their hard-work throughout the season, and wished everyone a safe off-season, with lots of training.

Azz was voted All-Defensive for his consistent intensity on D throughout the entire season, forming an integral part in defensive structures and applying the trademark Sovs ball aggression. With stats of 2.3 blocks per game, 4.1 steals per game and 7.9 rebounds per game Azz will be hard to look past next season for the same award.
Azz was ecstatic and quickly downed his pot in record time before giving his acceptance speech by saying “this performance would not have been at all possible if it were not for god, my family and my girlfriend Stacey who have supported me all season.”

In a landslide poll the big man Ro received the Most Improved Award for increasing his skills and knowledge the most over the course of the season. Ro came into the squad a little wet behind the ears, but soon cemented his spot in the starting line-up by increasing his statistical averages and in dominating the boards. In the end Ro finished with excellent numbers of 6.7 points per game and 11.2 rebounds per game.

In a media rush to interview the young champ, Ro he simply attributed his season’s performance to great training mates and hard work, whilst reaching for another pot.

Last but certainly not least the Club Man Award went to Alex for his team orientated ideals. On the court Alex had a great year with hard work being displayed at both ends, whilst off the court Alex organised extra training sessions, team dinners and worked in conjunction with others for other events.
After the presentation of the Club Man Award, Alex reiterated Mark’s words and thanked everyone for their efforts in the first of many franchise seasons with Sovereign Knights and commented “I look forward to doing it all again next season.”
