The Patriots, 11-16 overall, were led in scoring, two-point shooting percentage and rebounds by Ward.

Ward scored 412 points (avg. 15.3), had 202 rebounds, including 98 on the offensive board. He made 166 out of 302 shots (55 percent) and had 30 steals, 40 assists and 23 blocked shots.

Patriots' Coach Garry Grewe said of his three underclassmen receiving All-Mid-State honors, "We can't vote for our own players, so it is quite a compliment from the other coaches to name Ward, Goerges and Dale, who will all be back next year, to the All-Conference team."
