ATLANTA, Georgia - Morehouse didn't have to worry about a lack of representation Tuesday.When the preseason All-SIAC teams were announced, eight Maroon Tigers dotted the rosters, with six players named to the first team and two to the second. Morehouse coach Rich Freeman said garnering that much recognition from his coaching peers was "a tremendous accomplishment" for his team.
"We're kind of used to being picked toward the bottom," he said. "Back in 2007 we were the No. 10 team, and we were able to dispel that with what we did during that season [going 7-3], so it provides a little bit of gratitude for us that now we're being congratulated."
Morehouse-rival Clark Atlanta had three players selected, all on the second team. The two Atlanta schools were not the only ones from Georgia with All-SIAC nominations, however. Albany State, the league runner-up last season, had eight players named to the two teams, and Fort Valley State had five.
