The Howell Trophy is an award given annually to the best men's college basketball player in the state of Mississippi by the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame. First awarded in 2005, the award is open to players from all four-year colleges in Mississippi and is named after former Mississippi State star Bailey Howell.
Background
Mississippi-based telecommunications company Cellular South, known since 2011 as C Spire, in partnership with the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame, began presenting its "Cellular South Outstanding Player Awards" in 1998, with the introduction of the Conerly Trophy, honoring the most outstanding college football player in the state of Mississippi. In September 2004, it was announced that the Hall of Fame and Cellular South would expand to include men's basketball, naming the award the Cellular South Howell Trophy in honor of Bailey Howell, the Mississippi State Bulldogs basketball alum and six-time NBA All-Star. The inaugural presentation of the trophy took place on April 14, 2005.[1]
Winners and finalists
Since the inaugural award in 2005,[2] the winner of the Howell Trophy is selected by a statewide panel of media members.[3] Mississippi State power forward Lawrence Roberts was the first recipient of the award for his performance during the 2004–05 season.[4]
