Seniors...Will, Mix, Bentley, Lee

I am always amazed at how fast 4 years can go by. I vividly remember recruiting Will at Harrison. I remember Mix coming down for a workout and watching him go through a bunch of drills and thinking that we might get a steal with him. I remember meeting the Sparks when Bentley came up and asked about a student assistant / manager type spot. I remember when Lee showed up and we beat Shorter here in the first Berry / Shorter game in the Cage! It certainly has been a fun class watch mature and grow. Will, Mix, and Bentley were a part of a turnaround their Sophomore season when we went from 9 wins to 18 wins. Lee joined us last year and we continued to get some wins. Then they were able to amass 19 wins last year. After losing 5 scholarship players and the move to D3, we have gotten some big wins together this year. The season started with a huge win vs. Lee in the second game of the season. A win vs. Lee has not happened 5 years! Then we had a huge home win vs. AUM. Probably the highlight of the season is the win over Shorter at home. After the thumping we took at their place, it was certainly bittersweet to get the one at home in a convincing fashion!

I am so proud of the achievements these four have reached. They have won between 54 and 56 wins, they have been named academic All-American 4 times, 6 times all-academic all state by the GA. Basketball Coaches Association (GABCA). They are some of the most recognized students on campus and they have represented our programs in fine fashion.

I hope their memories of Berry College will be fond ones and I hope they will look back on their time here and be proud of their accomplishments!
