Magnolia, Ark.—Southern Arkansas University linebacker Eddie Key and center Trey LaValle have been selected to the 2001 Daktronics NCAA Division II All-South Region football team.
Key, a second-team All-South Region pick in 2000, was named to the All-South Region first-team this year. LaValle, a first-team All-South Region selection in 2000, only tied for second-team honors this season even though both SAU gridders played the best football of their careers in 2001. Key led the Mulerider defense in tackles and LaValle graded the highest of all offensive linemen.
Key is a 6-2, 220-pound senior from Longview (Pine Tree), Tex., and LaValle is a 6-1, 265-pound senior from Farmerville, La.
