Postseason honors continue to roll in for three area college men's basketball stars.

Franklin & Marshall's James McNally, Elizabethtown's Mike Church and Albright's Zac Shaeffer received various honors Thursday.

McNally, a junior forward who helped lead the Diplomats to the Elite Eight for the second straight year this season, has been named to the State Farm Coaches' Division III All-America second team.

The team is selected and voted on by member coaches of the National Association of Basketball Coaches. The honor marks the 22nd time a member of F&M's team has received All-America recognition.

The honor is the first All-America honor for McNally, a New Jersey native. He received preseason All-America honorable mention by The Sporting News.

McNally has been busy on the awards circuit this postseason. He was previously named Centennial Conference Player of the Year and to the conference's first team.

In addition to being named All-America, McNally earned two more all-region first team honors on Thursday. He was named an Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III South Region First Team All-Star. Hours later he was named to the NABC Middle Atlantic Region First Team. McNally received second team honors last year from the NABC.

The awards are his third regional first team honors following a season in which he led the Diplomats in scoring (18.4 ppg.) and rebounds (8.5 rpg.). He has been a consistent scorer, posting double figures in 30 of F&M's 31 games, including 12 double-double outings.

He scored 20 or more points 10 times this season, including a season-high 30 against St. Mary's in November.

McNally raised his game in the NCAA tournament, averaging 23.5 points and 9.25 boards.

He ranks eighth on F&M's all-time scoring list with 1,418 points. He is 10th in free throws made (308) and sixth in rebounds (687). Earlier this season he became the 30th player to score 1,000 points and the 13th to score 1,000 and pull down 500 rebounds.

The Diplomats recently made their 21st NCAA appearance, advancing to the round of 16 for the 15th time and to the Elite Eight for the ninth time. F&M finished 26-5, their 22nd season with at least 21 wins.

Church, a senior center and graduate of Solanco, has been named second-team All-Middle Atlantic Region by the NABC.

A two-time first-team All-Commonwealth Conference selection, Church led the Blue Jays in scoring (15.3), rebounding (8.9) and blocked shots (51). He finished the season ranked ninth in the conference in scoring, third in rebounding and second in blocks while also ranking sixth in field goal percentage at 51.5 percent (137-for-266). Church finished with nine double-doubles and scored 20 or more points in a game four times.

On Feb. 13 at Widener University, Church became the 30th player in program history to reach the 1,000-point milestone. He finished his career ranked 29th on the career scoring list with 1,068 points while adding 581 rebounds, 141 assists, 140 blocked shots and 134 steals in 94 career games.

Shaeffer, a junior guard and Lampeter-Strasburg product, earned probably his most distinguished award yet, being named to the NABC Middle Atlantic First Team All-District.

Shaeffer led the Lions to the Commonwealth Conference tournament title and to the NCAA Division III tournament. The conference player of the year, first team all-conference selection and conference tournament MVP, he became the Lions' go-to player this season.

Averaging over 18.5 ppg., Shaeffer could score from anywhere on the court. Playing in all 27 of his team's games, he shot a team-best 83.6 percent from the free-throw line and 44.2 percent from the field. He shot 36.7 percent from 3-point range and led the Lions with 72 threes.

On Wednesday, just 24 hours after being announced as a D3Hoops.com Middle Atlantic All-Regional selection, Shaeffer was named an ECAC DIII South Region Third Team All-Star.

The honor is another first for the conference's leading scorer and 3-point shooter. He has also earned the Commonwealth's Player of the Year honor, as well as a First Team All-Conference selection.

In helping the Lions to their ninth NCAA berth, Shaeffer averaged 20 points per game in the conference tournament and scored a career-best 44 points in the double overtime win over Alvernia in February.

Shaeffer also ranked second on the team in assists with 67 and steals with 27.
