The John A. Logan College baseball and softball programs received a large donation from the Harrison Bruce Foundation on Thursday morning.  The donation will go to the construction of a brand new player development center, located between the two teams' fields.  Matt Varney caught up with Vols baseball coach Kyle Surprenant after the check presentation.

 

Thursday, John A. Logan men's basketball coach Kyle Smithpeters was announced as an assistant coach to new Missouri coach Dennis Gates.  As he prepares to depart for Columbia, Smithpeters gave a parting statement that you can listen to below.

Smithpeters went 241-73 over 10 seasons as the head coach of the Vols and coached a pair of NJCAA Player of the Year in Sean East, who is also headed to Mizzou, and Jay Scrubb who went directly to the NBA after his time at John A. Logan College.

Smithpeters plans to join Sportsvoice on Saturday morning.
