Columbus Grove senior post player Luke Kohls was a unanimous choice as the 2010-11 NWC Player of The Year in voting by Northwest Conference boys basketball coaches at the annual selection meeting Monday evening at Delphos Jefferson High School. This marked Kohl’s second straight POY award and first team all-conference selection.

Kohls averaged 17.2 points and 7.8 rebounds per game for the Bulldogs and led his team
to both the Northwest Conference and Putnam County League championships.

He was joined on the NWC first team by Bluffton’s Levi Gleason, LCC’s Tyler O’Connor, Ada’s Konnor Baker, and Delphos Jefferson’s Ryan Ebbeskotte.

The voting procedure called for each coach to vote for the top 15 players on a 15-14-13, etc. point descending scale. No coach could vote for his own players.

Todd Turnwald, who led Columbus Grove to an 8-1 conference record and outright Northwest Conference championship was voted by his peers as NWC Coach of The Year.
