ach LeDay and Seth Allen enjoyed
nearly identical seasons. Both played
important leadership roles, both came
off the bench and both averaged in
double figures in scoring. In fact, both
received the ACC Sixth Man of the Year
Award—LeDay by the Atlantic Coast
Sports Media Association and Allen by a
blue-ribbon panel comprised of coaches
and selected members of the media.
But LeDay’s consistency led to him
being named the magazine’s men’s
basketball athlete of the year. He
averaged a team-best 16.5 points per
game, scoring in double figures in all but
two of the Hokies’ games this past season.
He shared for the team lead in rebounding
at 7.3 per game and led the squad with six
double-doubles.
LeDay shot 53.8 percent from the floor, which
ranked second on the team and third in the ACC. He
shot 55.7 percent in conference games, which ranked
second in the ACC.
Interestingly, LeDay shot a team-best 77.2 percent from the
free-throw line (minimum 40 attempts). In fact, he made more free
throws (166) than any other Tech player even attempted.
He also performed well on the other end of the court. He provided
the team with strong interior defense, and he led the Hokies in blocked
shots with 33, though he is not necessarily known as a shot blocker.
For the second straight year, LeDay earned honorable mention All-
ACC honors and second-team All-State honors by VaSID (Virginia
Sports Information Directors).
