John A. Logan men's basketball coach Kyle Smithpeters met with Matt Varney Monday morning and they went down the roster together discussing several different weapons that the #6 Vols have.  No Jay Scrubb, no Sydney Curry, no Jamarion Sharp, but Coach Smithpeters is still feeling very confident headed into the season:

 

The guys talked about several of the big Week 3 high school football games and also about the weather delays the area saw on Friday night as well as SIU's upcoming home opener against #12 UIW Saturday night!  Plus an interview with Marion coach Jason Dunning after their big 37-34 win at Mt. Vernon last night!
