McGillivray sees God's providence in his life at Cedarville

By Kimberly Garlick

The moment you walk into his office, you see a man who is creating a legacy. On the walls are pictures of his various sports teams from years dating back to the 1970’s. He can remember records and scores from decades ago. But more importantly, if you ask to see the pictures, he can recall the names of a majority of the players because he has built relationships with them and continues to do so with his current players.

John McGillivray has been coaching at Cedarville University for 38 years. During that time he has held many different roles and impacted hundreds of students, something he hoped he would be able to do because it would combine his passions of sports and working with young people.

Central State coach fondly remembers fallen player

By Kimberly Garlick

It has been nearly three months since Central State University cornerback Kordero Hunter, 21, tragically lost his life as an innocent bystander of a shooting outside of the A List Lounge in downtown Dayton on Sept. 23. Hunter, a native of South Holland, Ill. was in his junior year of school, his second year at Central State.

Coach E.J. Junior received a phone call at 6 in the morning that day from one of his coaches saying that Hunter had been shot. Junior said he experienced emotions ranging from shock to anger. Eventually, with his faith in God, he said he came to a point where he had to trust God with the reason why this happened. Recently he spoke in an interview about what he remembers most about Hunter and how he has coped with the loss.

Flyers strong on defense in exhibition win

By Kimberly Garlick

The University of Dayton Flyers stepped up their defense and all-around team play to capitalize on a preseason matchup with the University of Findlay for an 87-66 victory at home Saturday night.

Though Findlay is a NCAA Division II men’s basketball team, the Division I Flyers were challenged with the Oilers’ strong pressure at half court, said head coach Archie Miller. This game gave the Flyers an opportunity to address some deficiencies on defense that Miller said had left a “sick feeling” in the stomachs of the players and staff after a 92-78 win against Walsh University the previous Saturday.
