Kirkwood defeats Highland 72-59 in Highland's first NJCAA National Tournament appearance.  Gulley laid a goose-egg in the first half, then went Beast Mode for 20 second-half points.  Donahoe (7 pts) should have looked to score more, because his teammates were missing all his assists.  Apparently Highland gets to play again Thursday.

AMEN!

[Guest speechless]

Donahoe will go D2 due to the fact that if he goes DI he would have to sit for a year and his clock only allows him two more years of play....so he will go D2 so he can play immediately and get two more years

Men's National Tournament Run Ends
Posted by cmosher 03/18/11 1:00pm
The HCC men's basketball team first run in the National Tournament came to an end with a 69-79 loss to St. Louis Community College - Meramec.

So that's a wrap.  I was unable to watch the live stream and don't have stats for this final game.  Locals Gulley and Donahoe had two great years of basketball up there in the frozen north.  Hope they'll both be playing somewhere a lot balmier next year-- like Beaumont!

Looking forward to watching Jarvis play the point for Highland next season.

As always, in closing, I wish you Love, Peace, and...  Go Hawks!

HCC’s Gulley Signs with Bears
Posted by cmosher 04/19/11 9:04am
After leading the Highland Community College men’s basketball team to its first ever appearance in the National Tournament, two-time NJCAA All-American Jarmar Gulley has signed a National Letter of Intent to play for the Bears of Missouri State University.

Recruited by then MSU head coach Counzo Martin who left MSU for the University of Tennessee, Gulley was the first student athlete signed by new Bears coach Paul Lusk, a former assistant coach at Purdue. A 6’4” guard who has a strong all around game, Gulley came to Highland from Beaumont, TX where he was known by Scottie Head Coach Jerre Cole, who was at Lamar University at the time. While at HCC, Gulley became the College’s all-time leading scorer and earned numerous honors in addition to his All-American achievements.

Ranked by JucoJunction.com as being in the top fifty best recruits on the community college level, Gulley averaged 23.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.2 steals, and 2.3 assists per game for the Scotties.
