Harris named to All-District 9 team

Gonzaga junior forward Elias Harris was named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) All-District 9 first team.

A native of Speyer, Germany, Harris is averaging 13.1 points and a team-leading 8.7 rebounds a game, while shooting 50.5 percent from the field.

Harris' selection marks the 15th straight season a Zag has been honored on the team. Steven Gray was a first-team selection and current Bulldog senior Robert Sacre a second-team selection a year ago.
