INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- Senior guard Chad Songy of Millsaps College has been named ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District VI First Team as announced today by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).  

The yearly honor is the second consecutive for Songy, as he was named a Second Team All-District VI selection last season.  He is the lone first team selection from the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference this year, with Charles Houston of Trinity (Texas) earning second team honors.

Songy has been an essential player both on and off the court all four years of his Millsaps career for head coach Tim Wise, playing in 107 career games and carrying a 3.95 cumulative GPA in business.  He is also a two-time Academic All-SCAC selection. 

Student-athletes on the Academic All-District second and third teams (if applicable) do not advance to the national ballot but are provided as a further opportunity for recognition.  Because Songy is a first team selection, his named will be placed on the final ballot for All-America honors which will be released on Wednesday, Feb. 25.
