KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Jack Gibbs (first team) and Peyton Aldridge (second team) of the Davidson men's basketball team, have been named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) 2016-17 All-District Team.
Selected and voted on by member coaches of the NABC in NCAA Division I, these student-athletes and coaches represent the finest basketball players and coaches across America.
In addition to ranking first and third in the A-10, averaging 22.1 and 20.5 points per game, respectively, Gibbs and Aldridge are the second highest scoring duo in the nation and have combined for 36 20-point outings and 10 30-point efforts this season.

The native of Westerville, Ohio, is also the first player to lead the league in scoring in back-to-back seasons since Temple's Dionte Christmas (2006-09).
Aldridge, who led the Wildcats in minutes played, rebounding, field-goal, 3-point and free-throw percentage, scored in double figures 29 times, while recording nine double-doubles.
Also an all-conference selection, Aldridge ranked among league leaders in scoring (20.5/3rd), rebounding (8.2/4th), free-throw percentage (.833/7th), 3-point field-goal percentage (.409/4th), 3-pointers per game (2.2/9th) and minutes per game (36.9/4th).
