Men's Basketball, 1990-92
A native of Chicago, Illinois, Damian Evans played two seasons at Fort Hays State from 1990-92 after transferring from Kings River Community College in California. He was an NAIA All-America selection as a junior, and an All-RMAC First Team selection each of his seasons as a Tiger. As a junior in 1990-91, Evans averaged 21.9 points per game, scoring in double figures all 30 games. He scored at least 30 points in a game six times that season, including a career-high 38 against Emporia State, and also averaged 4.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game. His 161 free throws made in 1990-91 was third best at FHSU for a season at the time, but still ranks fourth today. He helped FHSU set a new school record for scoring average that season at 90.4 points per game, only to be topped by the 1994-95 and 1995-96 squads a few years later. As a senior in 1991-92, Evans averaged 15.9 points per game leading an FHSU team that won the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference title and had four players average double figures in scoring. He added 4.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game that season. Evans scored 1,085 points in his career, one of 23 1,000-point scorers in FHSU history, and his 19.0 points per game scoring average is tied for fifth-best in school history. He is one of only seven players in the program's history to score at least 1,000 points in just a two-year career at FHSU, and he joins career scoring average leader Dennis Edwards as the only two of those seven that played less than 60 games in their careers at FHSU.
