Stevenson was named a 1st Team NJCAA All-American, in and of itself a feat, the first time a Seward player has been named 1st Team All-American since 2012, but more historically, Stevenson becomes the first Seward player in program history to ever be named NJCAA All-American twice after receiving Honorable Mention accolades in 2014.

The Thunderbirds showed no fear against a team that beat them by 28 earlier in the season in the Greenhouse, using a 17-0 run before the half to take a 38-32 lead into the break before building an 18 point second half advantage and hanging on down the stretch to stun Seward County 76-74 and all but end any hopes the Saints had to make a run at the league title down the stretch.

With a number of Garden City fans making the trip down to support their Broncbusters and the Saints faithful packing the Greenhouse for the midweek affair, it was a highly contested contest with Seward getting out to a nine point halftime lead just to watch Garden roar back and make it close late before eventually the Saints hung on to win 92-87.

Saturday afternoon was no exception as tempers flared throughout the game, resulting in four technicals and multiple warnings to both sides. Seward built a 17 point first half lead before Barton roared back, taking a late lead of their own, when the Saints put the ball in the hands of Niem Stevenson who scored six straight in the final three minutes to push Seward to a 79-77 key Jayhawk Conference win over the Cougars.
