game time

the hillcat men and women have a game this monday against ecclesia college. we all would really like if you all show your support the best way u can and we always appreciate our fans supporting us.

thanksgiving clinic

black friday was the hillcat thanksgiving clinic! coach barkley, coach love, kenny, jeremy, mo, and myself attended to help the kids improve on their basketball skills. we had a total of 18 kids that came out. it was truly a blessing and we all had a really good time with the little ones. the thanksgiving clinic went from 9am-12pm. it feels really good to be able to give back to the community and to the kids. to actually see that people really appreciate the things we do on the court and want to be like us. so each and everytime theres an oppurtunity to help we all try our best to reach our hands out and help where we can. being able to see the kids learn and really appreciate the help they are getting is the best reward i could receive.

conference game

1st conference game of the year is in the bag. RSU hillcat men and women came out with a win against john brown @ john brown. both team played extremely hard and the women game went down to the wire. with leass than a minute left the score was tied at 50 but the hillcat women came down and hit a 3 and then forceda turnover which led to an easy lay-up at the other end which gave them a 55-50 lead with less than 10 seconds to go and they came out with the win

the hillcat men had an outstanding game against the golden eagles of john brown. the first few minutes of the game we traded baskets but after that the hillcats started to pull away. john brown shot very well from behind the arc but we were able to match their 3's with some 3's of our own. kendrell, donald, and justin were lighting it up from behind the arc and as a collective unit we played excellent team ball on both ends of the floor. this was by far the best game of the year for us so far. we stuck with the game plan and executed in the best possible way. our defense stepped up with the intensity, our offense ran our stuff how we designed it, our transition was really good, the hillcat bench brought and enormous amount energy to the game, and most of all we played together and unselfish. And that is what win gmaes.

i would like to thank all the hillcat fans who came to the game and who listened on the internet. we greatly appreciate all the support you show us and we will continue to come out and play hard night after night.

hillcats

hillcat basketball has been looking good the past week. homecoming week was a really good success and we had a good show out for the homecoming game. the same dunk contest and the 3-point shootout was very entertaining. the men won our game homecoming night and the ladies lost a tight one. the ladies came back with something to prove last night when they smashed baker university by 22. the women have another game on friday and then both teams play out first conference game against john brown on tuesday @ john brown. wish us luck and thank you all for the support.

2-0

i would like to thank all the hillcat fans for coming out and showing us love tonight as we got our second win ina row. it was a very good game. we started out a lil slow and had a fewruns in the first have and we went into halftime with a 9 point lead which was very disapointing for us. the way we played was consistent in the first have which allowed the opposing team to hang around with us. we went into the locker rooms at half and talked about what we had to do to secure a win tonight and thats exactly what we did in the 2nd half. we picked the pressure up and pressed full court and caused some turnovers, we crashed the boards and got a lot of second chance points, and we shot well from behind the arc. we still have to correct some things on the defensive end but overall we played very well. it was a much better improvement from the last home game and the team looked a lot more comfortable on the court and we looked more relaxed in our plays and im proud of my teammates tonight in our efforts. final score 90-71 i may be off a few points.

next game for the women is wednesday at langston and the men and woman have homecoming this saturday and i will look forward to seeing everyone there to support hillcat basketball. Reporting live from the campus of Rogers State university, Brian Gibson . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . signing off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol!

homecoming

Just as a reminder, this is home coming week so Hillcat fans show your support and love for each of your Hillcat players. The men Hillcats have a game tonight at 7pm. I will be looking for all our fans to come out and show some love! Looking forward to seeing you there!

Sunday was a very good day! I want to start off by saying LSU still remains #1 in the polls. Truly the best team in college football and after beating Alabama they have proven to the whole country they are the team to beat!

Now that that's out the way, lol . . . . . . . . . . Sunday was a good day. I woke up and got ready for church. Several of our RSU Hillcat players attended church on sunday moring! Kenny, Leah, Sierra, Candace, Gianna, Brittany, Freddy, Ryan, Kendrell, and myself. I'm very proud of them all for showing some iniative and being responsible adults by getting up on a Sunday morning and going to church. Thats shows and tells a lot about each persons character. After church we went to the Hammet House and ate lunch together.

After church I went home and watched some football and relaxed before our evening practice. By the way, the New Orleans Saints won their game too. So I'm feeling pretty good right now from the college level to the pros. On a more serious note, we had a very hard practice yesterday evening. Each practice we're getting better and better and we're playing better together. We still have some things to work on but as long as we have players that are committing to working hard and accepting their role on and off the court, we will be a hard team to beat. We have a long season ahead of us.

women hillcats

The women Hillcats played two games when they traveled to Baldwin City, Kansas. They played Nov. 4 and 5 and won both games. The women are coming together very well and are playing better and better each time they play. They are still struggling a little with turnovers but they are improving. There next game is Wednesday Nov. 9 against Langston, which will be played in Langston. This will be a very good game and another challenge for our Lady Hillcats. They are preparing hard for this game and I know that they will do a good job, play hard , and come out with a win.

1-0

I would like to thank all the Hillcat fans for coming out on Thursday night to the game and showing us some much needed love. It was a good game and we came out with the victory 96-65! I was very proud of our team and the way we showed up to play and play hard.

We had a very good practice today! It was intense and we got a lot of things accomplished. We are working hard to get prepared for our next game on Monday evening! We have another practice tomorrow evening where we will be looking to improve and get even better.

After this morning's practice, I came home and got some much needed rest as most of our team did the same thing. Getting ready for LSU-ALABAMA! As you should know I am from Louisiana and I pull for the Tigers night in and night out! After the game, I will be calling it a night as I get prepared to go to church in the morning and then our evening practice.

Once again thank you to all the fans for showing love and we will be looking forward to seeing everyone out on Monday evening!

Exhibition Game!

well hillcat fans it wsa a tough lost for the both the men and women hillcat teams tuesday night!

the hillcat men suffered a big lost against ORU! we came out ready but we didnt execute on either end of the floor and or transition wasnt as good as it should have been, plus the turnovers only added to the already existing problems. on a positive note, its only up from here, we can only get better and work harder to accomplish our goals. its sad that we lost but i'd rather it happen in an exhibition game rather than in a game that counts against us. we are already looking towards the future. We had a pretty good practice today and we have practice at 6:30am and shoot around at 2pm before our game tomorrow.

the hilcat women played an excellent game against TU. they came out on the back end of the game but they played very well ina 54-50 loss that came down to the last seconds. gianna and arii led the hillcat women with 14 points and sierra had 11 points. the women played very well. statistically they should have won the game, they had 31 turnovers, they were 8-23 from the free throw line and missed a few tough layups down the stretch. tough lost but good job and way to fight!

we will be looking forward to seeing all our hillcat fans on tomorrow night to support us in our season opener at home.
