Kahlig named player of the year

Five times during the course of the year Greg Kahlig was named conference player of the week. Now he has an award that covers the whole season.
Kahlig, a 2010 Fort Recovery High School graduate, was honored Monday as the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Player of the Year.
The senior, who is leading the GLIAC in scoring at 23.9 points per game, also tallied 15 points for the University of Findlay Oilers (21-5) in their 86-67 opening-round win Wednesday over Hillsdale in the conference tournament. He hit three 3-pointers and also had four rebounds, two steals and an assist in the win.
Kahlig had two 40-point games this season, and in GLIAC play he scored 537 points, the second most in conference history. He was a first-team all-conference selection last season and ranks seventh all-time at Findlay with 1,777 points.
He ranks sixth in NCAA Division II in scoring while also averaging four rebounds and three assists per game.
Kahlig is the top scorer in FRHS history and was a two-time Midwest Athletic Conference Player of the Year for the Indians. He was also the Northwest District Player of the Year and the Ohio High School Basketball Coaches Association Division IV Player of the Year during his senior season.
