2009-10 Season Summary
Eighth-year head coach Justin Sherwood went into the 2009-10 season
with hopes of returning to the playoffs and improving on last season’s record.
The Warriors would open the season with a four-game winning streak,
as Corban out-scored its opponents 404-372 and averaged a NAIA-best 101.0
points per game over that stretch. Just as quickly as the highs came, the lows
followed very closely behind as the Warriors went into a lull that included
four losses in their next six games with wins coming over conference rival
Northwest Christian and NCAA Division III member George Fox.
Following their win over George Fox in mid-December, the Warriors
suffered a season-high losing streak of 15 games and did not earn a victory for
nearly two months. In the final month of the season, Corban would register a
pair of upsets against nationally-ranked teams thanks to back-to-back wins of
Warner Pacific and Eastern Oregon.
Senior Ben Potloff (Keizer, Ore.) finished with a team-best 507 points
and an average of 17.5 points per contest. Scoring-wise, Potloff was aided by
junior Ian Logan (Aloha, Ore.), who averaged 15.0 points and a team-high 6.3
rebounds per game. The Warriors had four players that averaged more than 10
points per contest, as Potloff, Logan, sophomore Erik Cronrath (Battle Ground,
Wash.), and junior Nash Keene (Aumsville, Ore.) combined to average 55.2
points per game.
Both Potloff and Logan were honored by the Cascade Collegiate
Conference office as All-CCC honorable mention, while Logan and Keene
earned both NAIA and conference academic honors. Following the conclusion
of his junior season, Logan was also named as the recipient of the prestigious
Emil S. Liston Award for his work both on the court and in the classroom.
Sherwood concluded his eighth season at the helm of the Warriors and
now has an overall career mark of 106-140. The former Warrior player joined
former Western Baptist coaches Tim Hills and Tim Collins last season as only
the third coach in program history to register 100-or-more victories during their
careers.
