Men’s Basketball

The Saints are coming into their eighth season under Head Coach Chad LaDue and their second season in the Mountain Valley Conference (MVC). With five returners, LaDue is very optimistic about this upcoming season and feels that this is the most important year for Saints Basketball thus far. He is holding very high expectations for this year’s incoming freshmen class as he looks for them to fill the shoes of Region III All-Stars, Mike Cowart, Keon Patterson and Dominic Mungen.

During coach LaDue’s tenure, the Saints have accumulated an overall record of 103-86 and in the past six years they are 29 games over .500. During this time the Saints have captured 2 Northern Independence Conference (NIC) Championships and 4 NJCAA Region III tournament berths. Coach LaDue has graduated many players who have received All-Conference and All-Region honors. 

Looking ahead to every season the Saints pride themselves on becoming a family and working hard, which have led to their continued success on and off the court. As a basketball program, we value our academic success as much as anything, and that shows in their 72% Graduation Rate and 71% Transfer Rate.

Coach LaDue states, “The past 7 years have been very special as we have been able to grow into one of the top teams in the region. Now, our goal every year is to compete for a regional championship.”
