Red Raven men's basketball is saying goodbye to another player, with Trent Ruth committing to Division 1 Stonehill University following his freshman season.
Ruth was second-team All-KJCCC in his lone season in Coffeyville, and joins a Stonehill program that recently made the jump to D1 and is postseason eligible for the first time. Ruth says it was an opportunity he couldn't turn down.
The guard earned trust from Head Coach Jay Herkelman early in his career, emerging as one of the team's top scorers and defenders, and hitting a clutch shot to beat Barton on sophomore night. Ruth says his relationship with Herkelman is strong.
Ruth also formed close relationships with fellow guards Justin Taylor and Brian Griffith, with the trio earning the nickname "Money Team", and all three being all-conference selections. Ruth says Taylor and Griffith are two of his best friends.
Stonehill went 15-17 last season, and will look for their first NCAA Tournament appearance in school history next season.
