Great quote just heard on tv regarding KG: “He would shut down an entire side of the floor on defense just by communicating”! That takes zero talent, zero athleticism, but has everything to do with winning

Had to make a special trip to drop off the bling to the best manager in the country hands down!! Was a 1 man show!! Was a HUGE part of our success! Managers play critical role in programs! He earned this ring just like the players did! THE best!

Been a rough 24 hrs to say least. Still in disbelief. Not enough space here to talk about your impact. You are who you surround yourself with,& I was fortunate to not only call you a friend, but family. Gone way too soon. You’ll be greatly missed! Forever my guy!!
We are saddened to learn of the unexpected passing of former assistant men’s basketball coach, Pete Story.
We offer our sincere condolences to his family, team, and friends. RIP, Coach.

We got our tails handed to us tonight, but my blood isn’t boiling as much right now after a loss as it normally is. Perspective is everything, and mine was put in its rightful place this morning. Worst text anyone can get. Gone way too soon💔
We are heartbroken to learn of the passing of former basketball Lion, Jahyde Gardiner. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, & former EMCC coaches and teammates. Once a member of the Lion family, always a member of the Lion family.
Our struggles don’t necessarily mean we are distant from God. Sometimes when we are struggling the most, we are actually closest to Him. We are more aware than ever of our desperate need for Him, & He responds w/ grace & patience
