Women’s Basketball Men’s Basketball

The women’s basketball team has gone through quite a turn
of events within the last 8 months, from National Championship
hopeful to no coach. Things seem to be back on the upswing
with the acquisition of Tammy George the new women s coach.
Coach George is from Hendersonville and is excited to be
back in this area after graduating from UNC-Charlotte,
coaching high school for three years, coaching college for four,
and a stint trying to go pro with two WNBA teams.
George is what you would call a player’s coach meaning
she has been there and done that. She said, I have been in
their position, up by 20 and down by 20.’ She believes er
experience as a player is more than just a tool in coaching, u
it also provides her a view that she can only take advan age o
in her coaching style. With the departure of the former
women’s coach the squad was left depleted and in s am es,
but 7 eligible players are motivated into turning this season in o
a positive by hopefully acquiring a winning record.
This year brings new and exciting challenges for the team.
We have a wonderful new coach, and the team is ®xci e
about what the year holds. Smart play is key to the productivity
of the team, and health and good coaching are two '
that will provide longevity to the few players that are se
out their 32 game season.
The knowledge of winning is not something ’
only experience. This team has been on winning si
and likes the way if feels; they don’t plan ‘^at.
Coach George’s arrival has uplifted the spirits o P y
and now they are turning their attention to the season ahead.
Good luck to the Women’s Basketball team!

The Men’s Basketball program is led by
Coach Mike Jones. Coach Jones is very
excited about this upcoming season and his
optimistic attitude is sure to lead the team to a
very strong record.
The team is being led by two returning
seniors Reggie Perry and Phil Wilson. These
two captains have played a lot of minutes in
the previous season and will be looked upon
to provide good examples on and off the court
to provide strong leadership and to mold the
new players into what the program desires.
These two player are complimented by four
other returning players who are expected to
use their early experience to play a pivotal role
for the team: former red shirt Rashad Johnson,
Jared Ramsey, Kirron Ward, and current red
shirt Dustin Young.
Having lost five seniors from last year’s line
up Coach Jones is adamant about the fact this
is not a rebuilding year because he recruited
heavily in the off season acquiring 13 new
players, five who were junior college players
and three who were transfers. It is obvious
that Coach Jones is looking to these players to
easily step in to the program, find their niche,
and immediately become impact players for
the squad.
Coach Jones believes that the team will be
very competitive with the new acquisitions,
and the team will probably hit their potential
mid way to late in the season. He thinks this
will be positive for the team because it will
strengthen their run at post season play in the
conference tournament.
