The inaugural Lone Star Conference Athletic Performance All-Conference Team was announced on Thursday with 21 student-athletes honored by league officials.
The team was headlined by Angelo State’s Josh Elvir and DBU’s Lexie Houston, who claimed Male and Female Athletic Performance Athlete of Year honors, respectively.
Elvir, a senior from Kemah, Texas on the ASU baseball team, was nominated as a leader not just in the weight room, but on the field as the starting right fielder. His work ethic in the weight room is what sets him apart from other athletes, and his hard work has paid off. Elvir was named NCBWA Division II Player of the Year and LSC Player of the Year along with first-team All-LSC and All-American honors last year.
Houston, a junior from Brownsboro, Texas on the DBU volleyball team, was listed as a true all-around athlete that has dominated both on and off the court. She has earned the DBU Volleyball Athletic Performance winter competition Iron Patriot award two years in a row. Houston was selected to the 2019 LSC Volleyball All-Tournament Team.
The all-conference team was recommended by the new LSC Athletic Performance advisory group. The awards seek to recognize student-athletes who excel in work ethic, dedication to process, attendance, communication, leadership and growth. The individual awards are voted upon by the league’s athletic performance staff.
This year’s all-LSC Athletic Performance honorees are:
