"I am so excited for Trevion and Davontae to be recognized as All-Americans," stated head coach Josh Sash. "Both are high character young men that were instrumental to our teams' success this season and are deserving of this recognition. We appreciate all their hard work and dedication to Indian Hills Basketball over the past two years and look forward to following them beyond."
A two-year standout for the Warriors, LaBeaux emerged in his final season in Ottumwa as a dominant force on both ends of the court. LaBeaux joined exclusive company in Warrior basketball history, making consecutive trips to the NJCAA DI Men's Basketball National Tournament. LaBeaux becomes just the third player in school history to earn All-American honors while making back-to-back trips to the Final Four, joining Hall of Famer Pete Mickeal (1996-98) and Shon Coleman (1997-99).
LaBeaux starred on the court for the Warriors during the 2023-24 campaign, averaging career-high marks of 13.3 points and 9.5 rebounds per game after maintaing a double-double for a majority of the season. The forward scored in double-figures 23 times on the year, including a career-high 30 points at Marshalltown Community college on January 17. LaBeaux finished with his second consecutive season shooting at least 50.0 percent from the floor while upping his three-point shooting percentage (34.9) and free throw shooting percentage (73.2), both personal bests.
Labeaux corralled 304 rebounds on the year, including 105 on the offensive glass, the most total rebounds by an individual at Indian Hills since 2017-18. LaBeaux becomes just the fourth player in the last 30 years of Indian Hills basketball to produce at least 400 points and 300 rebounds in a single season.
LaBeaux becomes the first player since the 2014-15 season to lead the Warriors in both scoring and rebounding averages in the same season. LaBeaux wrapped up his stellar career at Indian Hills with 661 career points while shooting 51.9 percent from the floor to go along with 449 rebounds in 64 career contests.
A first-team NJCAA All-Region 11 selection and the 2023-24 Iowa Community College Athletic Conference (ICCAC) Player of the Year, LaBeaux led the league in both scoring and rebounding on the year. For his efforts, LaBeaux was named the ICCAC Athlete of the Week four times throughout the season. The sophomore finished the season with a team-high 12 double-doubles on the year.
The Indian Hills Men's Basketball program has now produced at least one NJCAA All-American in 13 consecutive seasons.
LaBeaux and Hall become the first set of Indian Hills teammates to reach two Final Fours at the national tournament while each earning All-American honors. The duo combined to win 58 games, two NJCAA Region 11 titles, and the 2024 NJCAA North Central District Championship.
