32 Sports Sports Men’s Basketball The 2006-07 Trojan Men’s Basketball program held their own in a very competitive American Midwest Conference. The Trojan men concluded their season with an overall 12-15 record finishing 5-7 in the conference. According to Trojan Head Basketball Coach Jason Durst, the team played their best basketball at the end of the season. “Our program took great strides in establishing ourselves as one of the stronger teams in the AMC,” said Durst. Some of the highlights of the season were besting rivals Missouri Baptist University and Columbia College for the first time in eight years. These experiences were a result of a large core of returning players for the 2006-07 season. Durst believed these seasoned players created a strong sense of team chemistry between players and coaches. Durst credits the 2006-07 team touting camaraderie, experience, sacrifice, and teamwork among the team’s strengths. “Our players are expected to focus on three areas of their life as athletes in our program—spiritual, academic, and athletic,” continued Durst. “With this commitment comes sacrifice. They give up social time (weekends, holidays) in order to be a college athlete, and we want to create a balance of all areas during their college experience. We want to be able to succeed from our commitment to being well-rounded student athletes.” Durst is also proud of the individual honors awarded to his team. Josh Pickett was selected to the AMC First Team All- Conference, and Wayne McPike was awarded AMC All-Conference Honorable Mention. Several team members received allconference academic awards. (See a full listing of all HLG athletic awards on page 31.) Durst will see another large core of returning players for the 2007-08 season. “We return over 20 players to our program, and we will retain nine players on the varsity team. The men’s basketball coaching staff is proud of the hardworking and dedicated student-athletes involved in the Trojan basketball program. “As coaches, we emphasize the importance of becoming triple-threat individuals—spiritual growth, academic achievement, and athletic performance,” said Durst. Armed with values of sacrifice, teamwork, and experience, the 2007-08 Trojan Men’s Basketball team will be more than a threat; they will be an unstoppable force. Women’s Basketball The 2006-07 Hannibal-LaGrange Lady Trojans’ theme “ARETE” was the cornerstone for their hard fought season. ARETE, a Greek word meaning “the best,” carries the idea of doing exactly what it was designed to do in life. Third-year head coach, Tiffany Hill states, “The vision of the Lady Trojans basketball team is to be the best possible for the glory of God alone! Our approach with every opportunity is to give more than the day before in order to maintain a lifestyle of discipline and excellence. As a result of this dedication we know that we will reach our team goals because of our daily commitment.” The tradition of the AMC and scheduling of tough nonconference opponents provided the competitive edge for this season. The Lady Trojans entertained seven top NAIA teams and an NCAA Division I opponent early in the season. Once again, the AMC Conference action included three teams that made it to the 2007 NAIA Div. I National Tournament. The Trojan women posted an overall 13-17 season record. Hill anticipated a great year for the Lady Trojan basketball program. “Our team this year housed a large majority of veteran players who have maintained a high level of excellence on and off the court each year. They were not only savvy and competitive, but also passionate about leaving their mark on our great Lady Trojan basketball program at HLG,” said Hill. The program graduated six seniors who have provided strong leadership for this year’s team. Two seniors, Megan Martin and Theresa Goodwin, were recognized as AMC All-American First Team members. The AMC and NAIA recognized a number of the Hannibal-LaGrange Lady Trojans for their excellence not only on the basketball court, but in the classroom as well. (See a full listing of all HLG athletic awards on page 31.) With a year in review, the Hannibal-LaGrange Lady Trojans look ahead to new challenges and high expectations. As the Lady Trojans prepare to take the court next fall during the 2007-08 season, the future is bright for the HLG women’s basketball program.
