You probably are not a big junior college football fanatic if you are reading this.  Well, you might be given eTeamSponsor's partnership with the NJCAA and the CCCAA.  But most of you are probably not.  However, I would take a bet that many of you watch Netflix at least a few times a week, if not every night. If you are a sports fan, you've most likely seen Last Chance U come across the screen as a trending or recommended show.  I certainly did a few years back and became glued to the drama, heartbreak, and hope that the show offers. East Mississippi HC, Buddy Stephens will tell you he is not perfect.  The show's portrayal at times is so raw and tough to watch and doesn't always cast the multi-national champion coach in the best light. We first met at the 2018 NJCAA National Championship game at Pittsburg State University where the Lions and Coach Stephens went on to win their 5th title in the last 9 years. What I experienced at that week's festivities and witnessed during the game was a coach who was as a raw and as honest as he was on the show.  With no editing rights, the gentle, and tough love was shown for all the audience to see.

On this episode, the Grand Rapids Community College Raiders volleyball team plays in their first match of the National Junior College Athletic Association Division II National Tournament in Charleston, West Virginia today. We’ll give you our predictions on how far the team can go and if the team can rally behind head coach Chip Will after his surgery last week. Kevin Durant and Dreymond Green got into a heated argument on the sidelines Monday night during the Warriors’ 121-116 overtime loss to the Clippers. The two reportedly carried the disagreement into the locker room and it was enough to get Green suspended for a game. We’ll break down what this means for the Warriors and Durant’s future with the team. And the Oklahoma City Thunder and Detroit Pistons are headed in the right direction. We discuss our favorite teams and how they can continue in the right direction. The GRCC cross country team just competed in the NJCAA National Championship and Sam Borisch took home the All-American award. Borisch joins the show to discuss his performance at nationals, his favorite moments at GRCC and dishes on his favorite holiday traditions. All that plus more.

Inside the 1995 Season Following four years of fastpitch softball in the NAIA, the Kennesaw State Owls were ready for a new challenge. A record of 176-29 and four consecutive finishes in the top-four nationally made it apparent that head coach Scott Whitlock and his upstart program were poised for bigger and better things. Beginning in 1995, the Black and Gold began their journey in the world of NCAA sports, as the entire athletic department made the move to compete at the Division II level. A move up to a higher and more prestigious level of play generally means some early struggles as a program adjusts to the greater demands of competition and the added attention. For Owls softball, however, the move to Division II meant immediate continued success, as Whitlock and his group of 12 returnees and talented newcomers plowed through the competition on their way to a 53-5 overall record to win the NCAA Division II national championship, a mark that included a perfect 14-0 record in their new league, the Peach Belt Conference. In addition to being able to count on trusted veterans Kelly Rafter, whose 32-5 record and 0.85 earned run average would make her the 1995 NCAA Division II National Player of the Year, and offensive juggernauts Tonya Carlisle, Colleen Thorburn and Cara Dornstauder, the Black and Gold also added some key pieces that would help them reach the pinnacle of their sport. Dee Webb, a junior pitcher from Arizona, brought championship experience with her to Kennesaw, fresh off being a key part of Glendale Community College’s 1994 NJCAA National Championship team. As a regular part of the starting rotation, Webb went undefeated in her lone season with the program, going a startling 15-0 thanks to a 1.10 ERA. The Owls also added a local freshman in shortstop Kathy Morgan, who was one of just two Owls to start in all 58 games and finished fifth among Owl regulars with a .349 batting average. It was upon arriving in Salem, Va., for their World Series appearance that they would receive a timely reality check. Facing Wisconsin-Parkside and longtime friend and fellow coach Tory Acheson, who now faces off against Whitlock at the Division I level as the head coach at Tennessee Tech, the Black and Gold saw their 40-game streak come to an end in the World series opener, dropping a tough, 4-3, decision that would put them in peril of an early exit from the championship tournament. Unfazed, the Owls would win the next four games, on the strength of spectacular pitching from Rafter and the offensive prowess of Thorburn and Dornstauder, who would bat .478 and .381 in the World Series, helping Dornstauder to a First Team All-American honor. Nada Hlohovsky, a senior batted .333 during the regular season, would also step up at the plate, batting .391 during the six-game World Series. Whitlock and his Owls would outscore their next four opponents by a total margin of 20-6, including a, 9-1, thumping of Wisconsin-Parkside to avenge their early loss. Facing Bloomsburg in the championship game after defeating them, 3-0, in the first game of the day, the Black and Gold were in for the fight of their lives for their first-ever national championship. Behind Rafter’s dominant pitching, the Owls were up 2-1 in the bottom of the seventh and were one strike away from glory when Bloomsburg, the 1991 national runner-up, tied things up to send it to extra innings. Having to re-claim a lead when victory was within their reach, the Owls bore down once again, with Thorburn hitting an infield single in the top of the eighth before being driven in by Dornstauder, who laced an RBI double to give the Owls a lead they would not relinquish. Rafter would set down the side in the bottom of the eighth on just four pitches, the final coming on a chopper to third base, which Carlisle would cleanly field and toss over to first for the final out and the champ

Information on San Jacinto College: Wiley College in Marshall, Texas, is the first African-American college established in the Lone Star State. The institution was founded in 1873 by Bishop Isaac Wiley of Methodist Episcopal Church and chartered by the Freedman’s Aid Society in 1882. Isaac Wiley grew up with dreams of becoming a minister but instead turned to medicine. In 1850 he was given the opportunity to go to China on a medical missionary trip. Following his return to the United States he entered the ministry and rose through the ranks before becoming a Bishop in 1872. In 1873 he founded Wiley College. The college is now affiliated with the United Methodist Church and is dedicated to the idea of social responsibility and seeks to contribute and revitalize the community, which it serves. Wiley College was established to provide an education to newly freed men and women and to prepare them for a new life. It was also established to train teachers for careers at black elementary and secondary schools in Texas and other states and territories. One of the most notable alumni of Wiley College is James L. Farmer Jr., the son of a long-time Wiley professor. James L. Farmer, Jr. was a distinguished civil rights leader who was one of the founders of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) in 1942. He was the National director for CORE from 1961 to 1966 and served as the Assistant Secretary for the US Department of Health, Education, and Welfare in the Nixon Administration for one year. Heman Marion Sweatt, the plaintiff in the U.S. Supreme Court Case in 1950 which desegregated the University of Texas Law School, was also a graduate of the institution. Wiley now offers Associate and Bachelor’s Degrees in 17 areas including: English, biology, business, computer science, and social sciences, along with many more. The college is located on 63 acres of land west of Marshall, Texas between Dallas to the west and Shreveport, Louisiana to the east. The campus is comprised of seventeen buildings that are used for teaching, learning, and research, as well as residence halls for the students. The college also provides opportunities in higher education to non-traditional students through the Wiley Management Institute Program. Wiley College is an open-admissions college meaning that one just needs a high school diploma to gain admission. Wiley adopted the open admissions program in the 1970s to allow more students access to a college education.
