WEST PLAINS, Mo.– Two members of the Missouri State University-West Plains (MSU-WP) Grizzly Basketball team have been named to the NJCAA All-Region 16 first team for the 2024-25 season.
Sophomore Ryan Richardson and freshman Shunderrius Glass were both recognized for their outstanding performances throughout the season, university officials said, noting the announcement was made last week by region officials.
Richardson, a 6-foot, 5-inch guard from Hollywood, Florida, averaged 11.0 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game, providing strong leadership and consistency for the Grizzlies.
Glass, a 6-foot, 1-inch guard from West Monroe, Louisiana, led the team in scoring, averaging 11.9 points per game, while also contributing 4.6 rebounds per game. The standout freshman has already signed a Letter of Intent to return next season, ensuring his continued impact on the Grizzly program.
“We are extremely proud of Ryan and Shunderrius for their hard work and dedication this season,” said head coach, Jared Phay. “They have been key contributors to our success, and this recognition is well deserved.”
Rachel Peterson, director of Grizzly Athletics, echoed the praise for the two players.
“This is a tremendous honor for Ryan and Shunderrius, and we couldn’t be more excited for them,” Peterson said. “Their commitment to excellence both on and off the court represents what it means to be a Grizzly, and we look forward to seeing their continued success.”
