Getting Ready

The basketball season begins well before the basketballs come out. As soon as the school year started, the student athletes- those recruited and those trying out- began working. The guys met each every day of the week to participate in player-led workouts. The atmosphere as the guys worked out was energy-filled and excited. Everyone was ready to prepare for the upcoming season. Returners were encouraging newcomers, and several newcomers really stood out with their hard work. 

Based on the pre-season work put in by this group of student athletes, War Hawk basketball has another great season coming up!

Locker Room Renovation

One of the biggest projects of the summer was the Men's Basketball locker room renovation. When Coach Isler came in, he immediately wanted to update the locker room and give the guys a space to be proud of. A HUGE thanks to Steve Hargis who built and installed the lockers and also helped with electrical needs and installation of the TV display.

The last set of lockers ready to be moved in

All 15 lockers in and ready to be set and bolted. Also notice the new carpet and ceiling!
And without further ado, welcome to the new Men's Basketball Locker Room!

Lockers completed and ready to be used
Each locker includes several shelves, a cabinet, a hanging clothes rod, a drawer, and a McM War Hawk chair

Each player has their favorite Bible verse included on their name plate
The tradition of McMurry basketball is a daily reminder in the new locker room
One of the most exciting additions is the TV display
There are a total of four TVs in the new locker room
Now that the locker room is complete, McM Basketball is ready! 

GO WAR HAWKS!!!
