WEBSTER GROVES – Webster University senior guard Josh Johnson (St. Louis, Mo./Clayton) continued to rake in postseason accolades on Wednesday as he was named a Second-Team All-Central Region selection by D3Hoops.com.
 
Johnson becomes the first Gorlok men's basketball player to earn a spot on the D3Hoops.com All-Central Region Team since the organization began its postseason awards program in 2002.
 
Nominations for the D3Hoops.com All-Region teams are submitted by the Sports Information Directors from the schools in the region, while the voting was also done by SIDs, who voted for a predetermined order of players in their region. This is the 19th season that D3Hoops.com has named All-Region teams.
 
Wednesday's D3Hoops.com Second-Team All-Central Region selection came one day after Johnson was named to the NABC Second-Team All-District Team from the Central Region. In addition to earning All-Region honors from both the NABC and D3Hoops.com, Johnson was also named the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Player of the Year and a repeat First-Team All-SLIAC selection this season.
 
Johnson, who is one of 15 players named to the D3Hoops.com All-Central Region Team and one of two players selected from the SLIAC, earns his Second-Team All-Region honors from D3Hoops.com after averaging 18.6 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game during the recently completed 2019-20 campaign. On the year, Johnson shot 44 percent from the field, 42 percent from the 3-point line and a team-best 86 percent at the free throw line and scored in double figures in 24 of 26 games and ended the year with 11 consecutive games of scoring in double figures and tallied eight games of scoring 20 or more points, including three games of scoring 30 or more points.
 
The 6-foot guard closed out his Webster career in 2019-20 scoring 1,255 points, which is fifth on the school's all-time scoring chart and is one of just eight players in the program's history to score 1,200 career points. In addition to finishing fifth in career scoring, Johnson holds the school's all-time mark for free throw percentage (86.6 percent), was third in career made free throws (279), fourth in career made 3-pointers (166), fifth in career free throw attempts (332), 3-point field goal attempts (419) and starts (74) and is sixth in career scoring average (15.7 ppg) and 10th in career assists (236). Additionally, he is one of just four players in school history to score 450 or more points in a season in back-to-back years as he scored 483 points this season and tallied 450 points as a junior in 2018-19.
 
Johnson helped lead the Gorloks to a 19-9 overall record, back-to-back regular season SLIAC titles, a SLIAC Tournament title and a berth in the NCAA Division III Men's Basketball Tournament for first time since 2014 and just the fifth time in school history in 2019-20.
 
Along with announcing the All-Central Region Team, D3Hoops.com also named WashU junior guard Jack Nolan as the Region's Player of the Year, while Jeff Gard of Wisconsin-Platteville was named the Region's Coach of the Year and Wisconsin-Oshkosh's Levi Borchert was named the Region's Rookie of the Year.
