Men's Basketball Preseason Poll (# of First place votes in parenthesis) 
I forgot to report that Sophomore guard Nick Trull (Charlotte, NC) recorded a perfect 4.0 GPA last year (2008-09 school year) in the classroom. Not only does Nick get it done on the court but he also excels ACADEMICALLY. Great lesson the be learned. You can't play college athletics without taking care of your school work first! CONGRATS NICK!

Enjoy the pictures of our June 22-25, 2009 Boys Basketball Camp. We had a great time with all the kids. We had 10 more kids this year compared to last and also doubled our number of teams at our Middle School Team Camp. This was only the second year for our Team Camp. All the kids had a great time at individual camp. Especially FM. He was the camp favorite. We had six of our current players helping all week. They did a great job teaching the kids the fundamentals during their stations and also were great role models for the kids. That is what it is all about. Big Dave did an excellent job of holding down our camp store. We are looking forward to our second week of individual camp at the end of July. We already have good numbers signed up with 3 weeks left.

All great competitors have certain characteristics that set them apart from the average athlete. The following article, 12 Characteristics of Competitors, lists those 12 characteristics and gives a brief description of why each is important.
The Anderson Trojans are represented in the individual and team end of year NCAA final D2 national statistics for the 2008-09 season. Here is the list:
The news has been official for several weeks. Anderson University will enter the South Atlantic Conference starting the 2010-11 season. We will be leaving Conference Carolinas after the 2009-10 season. Both conferences are very strong Division II basketball leagues. The Trojans will be eligible for championships immediately.

Sophomore PG Brandon Young hits four 3 pointers in 21 seconds with the Trojans down 7. Anderson won the game 92-91 thanks to BY's 12 points at the end of the game!
Anderson University's 6'3 Guard Jarret Johnson dunks over 6'6 Center Mason Ambler from Coker during the Trojans 89 to 72 victory on Monday night. The boos you hear in the beginning are also for Ambler. The previous play he gave our PG a nasty cheap shot as he ran down the court to protect the basket. However, I am sure he did not think he was going to end up on Youtube and espn!!! This video will air this evening (1-20-09) on PTI and Sportscenter.
The Trojans have won five of their last six games and are riding a three game winning streak.
