Ellis, Kendall lead Eagles’ All-PC selections

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (April 2, 2021) – Tallahassee Community College placed four members on the All-Panhandle Conference men's basketball teams. 

The Eagles also picked up three individual honors, led by Player of the Year El Ellis. Jeremiah Kendall was voted Newcomer of the Year and Zach Settembre received Co-Coach of the Year honors after guiding the Eagles to a share of the Panhandle Conference Championship. 

Ellis, a sophomore guard from Durham, N.C., is Tallahassee's first repeat Player of the Year winner and just the third overall since 1997, joining Chipola College's Chris Porter (1997 & 1998) and Northwest Florida State College's Chris Jones (2012 & 2013). 

Ellis averaged 17.7 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.3 assists in 22 games while shooting 46.0 percent from the field, 41.7 percent from three and 75.9 percent from the free throw line. 

He also garnered First-team All-PC recognition along with Kendall and Shawn Walker. 

DeAngelo Ware was named Second-team All-PC. 

Kendall, a sophomore forward from The Bronx, was the top vote-getter among transfers. After playing his freshman season at Monroe (N.Y.) College, he averaged 14.1 points and 7.7 rebounds in 22 games while shooting 62.2 percent from the field. 

Walker, a sophomore guard from Elizabeth City, N.C., averaged 11.2 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 22 games while shooting 48.6 percent from the field, 47.0 percent from three and 86.5 percent from the free throw line. 

Ware, a sophomore guard from Evansville, Ind., averaged 9.6 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 22 games while shooting 40.0 percent from the field, 34.9 percent from three and 63.4 percent from the free throw line. 

Named after former Tallahassee head coach, the Eddie Barnes Panhandle Conference Coach of the Year Award recognizes the head coach of the conference champions. 

Settembre guided the Eagles to a 13-3 league mark in 2021, a school-record for PC wins, and a share of the conference title. Having coached Tallahassee to an outright championship in 2020, this was the Eagles' first back-to-back championships since 1996 & 1997.
