Of this year’s men’s basketball team, Coach Thirman Dimery said, “We’re way ahead of schedule and playing together well…There’s more dedication this year and it’s going to pay off for us.”

This year the men’s team has added a junior varsity squad and will use this team as a tool to improve the program’s younger players.

Assistant Coach Troy House is a new addition. “I’m looking for Troy to be a new face for the team and really help with the strategy of the game,” said Dimery.

The men were to begin their season on Tuesday Nov. 23 against the University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio. When asked about his first game against
UIW, Coach Dimery said, “I hope we can take it from them. They were a bigger team last year, but this year we have the depth and it will be a good game.”

At Schreiner, Midnight Madness marked the beginning of basketball season. The purpose of the event was to meet this year’s men’s and women’s basketball teams.

Fans also enjoyed watching a slam dunk contest, a three-point shootout, a skills and drills competition for the point guards and two inter-team scrimmages. Activities included a student cash grab where
students from the audience were selected at random, blindfolded, and then led onto the court where over $250 laid waiting to be picked up by the eager participants.

Another student event included a half-court shot with a $500 cash prize.
