Ohio Wesleyan University senior Andy Winters (Columbus/Bishop Watterson) was selected to play in the Reese's Division III All-Star game, it was announced by the National Association of Basketball Coaches.

The game is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. on Saturday at the Salem Civic Center in Salem, Va., prior to the NCAA Division III semifinal contests.  The teams are comprised of 2 senior student-athletes from each of the 8 regions in Division III, as selected by a panel of coaches representing each region.

Winters was named Great Lakes District Player of the Year and was a first-team All-Great Lakes District selection by the NABC.  He will play for the West squad, to be coached by Albion coach Mike Turner.

This is the second straight season in which Ohio Wesleyan has been represented in the Reese's all-star game.  Last year, wing Tim Brady played for the West team, and former Battling Bishop head coach Gene Mehaffey coached the East squad.

Winters, a point guard, led the North Coast Athletic Conference and ranks fifth in the nation in assists with an average of 7.0 per game, and his assist/turnover ratio of 2.62/1 led the league and is 14th nationally. He ranked ninth in the conference in scoring at 14.1 points per game, was third in steals (1.6/game), and ranked 12th in field goal percentage (.473) and 13th in free throw percentage (.731).  He also was named NCAC Player of the Year.

The Battling Bishops finished the season with a 23-6 record.  Ohio Wesleyan finished second in the NCAC championship race with an 11-5 record, won the NCAC tournament, and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Division III tournament.
