Myles Carter, who played his school basketball for the Academy at Palumbo, and now plays for Delaware State’s basketball team has been named to the preseason All-Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference first-team selected by the head coaches and sports information directors.
Carter, a 6-foot-1, 190-pound redshirt senior, is one of the MEAC’s top guards. Last season, he averaged 15.0 points and 5.0 rebounds a game. He led the conference in free throw shooting at 88.1 percent.
Carter should be one of the players to watch in the league. His ability to score and rebound should really help the Hornets this season.
