All men's basketball alumni - click here to update your contact information

STATESBORO – The Georgia Southern men's basketball program welcomed back former student-athletes, coaches, managers and athletic trainers for its annual Alumni Day last Saturday in Hanner Fieldhouse.

Alums were able to meet the current team and staff and sign the Alumni Legends Board in the men's basketball office sweet. Fred Jones, Bill McNair, Horace Burton, Mark McWhorter, Coach Mike Backus, Willis Holiday, Reggie Watson, Billy Sandiford, Derkie Leach, P.O. Youmans and Quinzel Chestnut were recognized during the game and witnessed a 65-57 win over long-time rival Appalachian State.

"This is their program; they laid the foundation that allows us to build moving forward," said Georgia Southern coach Brian Burg. "We are asking all of our basketball alumni, both Armstrong and Georgia Southern, to come back and be a part of our program as we carry on the legacy they started."

The Men's Basketball Roundball Club is a group of former basketball players, coaches, managers and trainers that have come together in support of the men's basketball at Georgia Southern. As a division of the GATA Club, the Roundball Club adheres to the mission of "Getting Athletes Together Again" while also supporting the men's basketball program at Georgia Southern through dues and donations. 

All monies, including annual dues, raised through the Roundball Club are designated directly to the men's basketball for program support. Most, if not all, former athletes can say their life was positively affected by participating in a sport at Georgia Southern or Armstrong State. Joining the Roundball Club is a small way to pay it forward and support the current and future men's basketball program.  

The board members of the GS Roundball Club are: Bill McNair – President; Willis Holliday - Vice President; Mike Backus - Executive Board Chairman; Helen Jackie Yates – Secretary; Tod Miller – Treasurer; Quinzel Chestnut – Chaplain; Anthony Forest - Media Executive.
