KANSAS CITY, Mo. — After a historic season at the helm of the No. 6 Lewis-Clark State men’s basketball team, Austin Johnson became the first Warrior men’s basketball coach to be named the NABC NAIA Division I Coach of the Year.

The Warriors captured the Frontier Conference regular season title before winning the Frontier Conference tournament on their home court, and Johnson was voted the Frontier Conference Coach of the Year.

L-C State had two All-Americans this season, with Damek Mitchell being voted third team and Trystan Bradley (Lewiston High) earning honorable mention.
