EAST STROUDSBURG - East Stroudsburg University forwards Chris Bach and Channon Easley are both members of the All-PSAC East men's basketball team that was released by the conference on Tuesday.

Bach and Easley were two of the top interior players in the conference all season, ranking in the top 10 in rebounding and field goal percentage and the top five in blocked shots. They helped the Warriors to an 18-10 record for the second straight season and their third consecutive appearance in the PSAC tournament for the first time since 1990-92.

Bach (Levittown/Harry S Truman) led ESU in scoring (15.0 ppg) and rebounding (8.8 rpg) in conference games during his junior year, including four games with 20 or more points and six games with at least nine rebounds. He averaged 11.5 points and 7.4 rebounds per game for the season, shot 56.2 percent from the floor and blocked 46 shots while starting all 28 games.

Bach was the only PSAC men's basketball player named to the Academic All-District II team last season and has merited local and regional stories for his return to college basketball in 2006-07 after 10 years away from college. Bach scored 16 points in a win at West Chester on his 30th birthday on Feb. 16.

Easley (Philadelphia/Friends Central) was the Warriors' top scorer and rebounder in each of his last two seasons, with 13.2 points and 7.7 rebounds last year, and was second in the PSAC with 2.2 blocks per game. He scored in double figures in 18 of his 23 games and had six double-doubles, including 17 points and 16 rebounds to help ESU clinch its postseason berth with a 64-54 win over Mansfield on February 27.

Easley is second with 198 career blocked shots at ESU and ranks sixth in rebounds (700) and 20th in points (1,065). He averaged more than seven rebounds per game and blocked at least 50 shots during his sophomore, junior and senior seasons and raised his scoring average all four years at ESU.

Bach and guards Pat Fleury and Andy Heimbach will lead the Warriors into the 2008-09 season, which will be the seventh year for head coach Jeff Wilson at his alma mater.
