Wilmore, Kentucky’s second favorite man
Republished from The Flying Herd, March 9, 2023. Sometimes history is a strange thing. Coach Will Shouse played for Asbury University from 1998-2002. He was away from the game until 2006 when Kentucky Christian University came calling. In the 2023 Mideast Regional Semifinal, Asbury University, the team that Coach Shouse had been the head man for since 2008, was blowing out the Kentucky Christian Knights. As the final buzzer sounded, it was obvious that Coach Shouse was the best coach in this matchup. The fact that Coach Shouse was the best coach in the matchup was a fact that was true in most games this season. Nineteen wins to six losses was a record…

Vanderbilt run-rules Lipscomb in game that means more than baseball
A game that felt like a crosstown rivalry just a week ago felt like much more on Tuesday night, that feeling didn’t have anything to do with baseball. After yesterday’s tragic shooting at The Covenant School, this one felt like more of a distraction. Not only for the players, but also for the city. The tragic shooting certainly wasn’t ignored, though. Lipscomb pitcher Logan Van Treeck led both teams in a pre-game prayer circle before warmups and a moment of silence was held for each of the victims of the shooting. All ticket proceeds went to the Caring for Covenant Fund, the link to donate to the fund is http://CFMT.org.…

The new look Bisons
The Lipscomb Men’s basketball season just ended, and the Bisons will not look the same when the season starts next year. The Bisons only have two seniors, but unfortunately, they are two very important players who play a huge role at Lipscomb University. Matt Schner First is Matt Schner. Matt transferred to Lipscomb this year for his final season of college basketball. Matt had previously played at Emory University, a D3 school in Atlanta Georgia (that’s why he only has 1 year of stats on ESPN). If you want to see his Emory stats click here. In his final year at Emory he brought in 23 points, 9 rebounds, and…

Bisons’ Trace Willhoite earns national recognition for 2023 after strong season in 2022
Hitting a baseball is a refined skill. It’s a skill that takes a mix of power, awareness, hand-eye coordination, and plate vision. For some, all of these attributes mix perfectly and with enough dedication and hard work can mold into a skill that can subsequently mold into a potential career. This is no different at the collegiate level, and there aren’t many better examples than Lipscomb’s Trace Willhoite. Willhoite, a sophomore third-baseman from Georgetown, Kentucky, was recently named to the watchlist for the 2023 Bobby Bragan Collegiate Slugger Award. Introduced in 2017, the award is presented to a Division I player that exemplifies high-quality performance [specifically hitting], academic performance, and…

Three Big Ten teams to watch out for in March
Republished from The 5 Banner Blog, March 9, 2023. The Hoosiers are well on their way to March Madness for only the second time since the 2015-2016 season. The reason they are the number one threat out of the Big Ten is because of their three major wins on the season and they firepower they have on their roster. Players to watch: Projected first-round-picks Jalen Hood-Schifino and Trayce Jackson-Davis. Jackson-Davis is a first-team All-Big Ten selection and Hood-Schifino won Big Ten Freshman of the Year. There aren’t many Big Ten teams that have two projected first round picks on their team and that is what separates the Hoosiers. The resume: Indiana’s best five wins are:…
