Battler Beat Good Friday Fun Facts

Here are some fun facts for you concerning Alderson Broaddus Men's Basketball:

Did you know that Alderson Broaddus men's basketball has three alumni that are currently head coaches in men's basketball at the NCAA Division II level?

Greg Zimmerman ('78), Jeff Burkhamer ('84) and Stephen Dye ('06) are head basketball coaches. Coach Zimmerman is the head coach of the Alderson Broaddus Battlers. Coach Burkhamer is the head coach at Lander University in Greenwood, SC. Coach Dye is the head coach of Glenville State College in Glenville, WV.

Did you know that all three coaches led their teams to a combined record of 63-27 this past season? That is correct. Those coaches led their teams to a outstanding winning percentage of 70% for the 2014-15 basketball season.

Coach Zimmerman led the Battlers to a record of 22-7 this past season. The team was also crowned the G-MAC regular season and G-MAC tournament champions.

Coach Burkhamer led his Lander Bearcats to an impressive 19-9 record despite fielding a starting lineup with only one senior.

Coach Dye led the Glenville State Pioneers to a record of 22-11. His team also won the Mountain East Tournament Title winning four games to claim their first conference title in over four decades. The team also earned a NCAA tournament bid for the second-year in a row.

Battler Beat congratulates all the coaches for their fine accomplishments this past season. It was quite a year for Alderson Broaddus Basketball alumni.

Happy Good Friday every one from Battler Beat! "So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him." -- Colossians 2:6
