     04/06/08...Pitt Johnstown senior forward Chris Gilliam (Baltimore, MD), already tabbed a Daktronics Second Team All-American and a National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC)/State Farm Division II All-American, has added Second Team Division II Bulletin All-America honors to his list of accomplishments.
      Gilliam, the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WVIAC) Player of the Year, led Pitt Johnstown to the West Virginia Conference regular season championship, a spot in the NCAA East Region Semifinals and a 23-8 overall record. 
      A native of Baltimore, MD, Gilliam led the Mountain Cats in both scoring (19.6 ppg.) and rebounding (8.6 rpg.) and paced the WVIAC in field goal percentage at 64.1%.  Gilliam posted 10 double-doubles and led the Mountain Cats in scoring on 21 occasions and rebounding 20 times in 2006-07.
      In the most recent national statistics, Gilliam ranks 12th in Field Goal Percentage (64.1%), 25th in Points Per Game (19.6 ppg.) and 47th in Rebounding (8.6 rpg.). 
      Gilliam, who scored seven points and grabbed six rebounds in the March 28 NABC/Division II All-Star Game in Springfield, MA, is on a pace to be one of the top ten most accurate shooters in Division II history.  Gilliam connected on 688 of 1047 (65.7%) field goals during his four-year Mountain Cat stint.  Gilliam’s 1,762 career points stands second on the All-Time Pitt Johnstown Scoring List, while his 699 career rebounds are third on the Mountain Cat All-Time Rebounding List.
