Rust College Men's Basketball Season Comes to a Close Following Hard-Fought Tournament Battle
The Bearcats finish the season with an overall record of 8-17 and a conference record of 5-13. Despite the season's challenges, the team boasts several significant accomplishments. Notably, the Bearcats made history by defeating rival LeMoyne-Owen College twice in the same season for the first time ever, and Head Coach Howard White earned his 100th career win, a milestone that underscores his dedication and leadership.
Standout performances from key players helped define the season. Guard Jordan Fordyuce averaged 12.3 points per game, shooting 48% from the field, while forward Isiah McCallum averaged 13.5 points per game with a 50% shooting percentage. Their efforts were instrumental in keeping the Bearcats competitive throughout the season.
"Although we didn't get the win in the tournament, I'm incredibly proud of our team's resilience and the progress we've made this year," said Head Coach Howard White. "Achievements like our historic wins over LeMoyne-Owen and reaching my 100th career win are milestones that we will build on as we continue to develop our program."
As the season comes to an end, the Bearcats will look forward to regrouping, reflecting on the lessons learned, and preparing for the future. The team remains committed to growth and improvement, setting the stage for an even more competitive campaign next season.
