While St. X fell to rival Trinity last night 46-43, St. X junior Sebian Dillard continues to emerge as one of the Seventh Region's best players. A 6-foot guard, Sebian is currently averaging 19.3 ppg after scoring 27 last night against Trinity. He is shooting 58.5% from the field, including 39% from 3-point range. Sebian was off to a good start but has kicked up his offensive output since James Taylor's departure from the St. X team.

 

I must admit, I did not see this coming. Sebian played in 3 games for St. X last year, all early in the season; the last varsity game he played in last season was on December 19, 2017, against Brown. He scored a total of 5 points last season. When I talked with Coach Klein prior to this season, he talked about how hard Sebian had worked over the summer and that he thought Sebian would be a key contributor. He obviously was right.

The way he’s played and being a Junior, I would think he may get some college interest. I’ve been very impressed with his play. If I remember correct, he led team in offseason conditioning, running around a 5:00 mile. With that time, he could probably be on the cross country team.
