KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) announced the 2018-19 Honors Court this week and Hilbert College's junior point guard
Hunter Martineau earned a spot on the prestigious team for his efforts in the classroom.
Martineau, a 3x Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference All-Star athlete, continues to collect accolades heading into his final campaign on the hardwood this coming year.
The 5-11 floor general from Timber Creek High School (Orlando, Fla) carries a 3.503 cumulative grade point average after six semesters in pursuit of his Sports Industry Management degree. He was inducted into the New York Theta chapter in the Chi Alpha Sigma National Student-Athlete Academic Honor Society in April 2019. Martineau is a 3x AMCC Academic All-Conference scholar and reached his first 3.5 Peak Performer plateau in 2017-18.
In addition to his impressive academic accomplishments, Martineau is well respected for his efforts leading the Hawks basketball team. He was named the AMCC Newcomer of the Year in 2016-17 and then garnered an All-Conference Second Team award in back-to-back years. Since his arrival on campus, Martineau has led the AMCC league in assists all three seasons and was the only conference player during the 2018-19 season to post a triple double (20 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists).
