The Coffeyville Red Raven men are preparing for a busy stretch of basketball, beginning tonight against Murray State College as they host the Coffeyville Classic this Friday and Saturday. The Ravens will look to improve to 5-0 tonight and carry their unbeaten start into the weekend.
Coffeyville has rolled through its first four opponents, winning by an average of 43 points as the offense continues to click and the defense applies pressure.
Head coach Jay Herkelman says the team's depth has been a major strength, allowing him to consistently use 10 to 11 players and wear down opponents as games progress into the second half.
After spending much of the offseason competing in jamborees and traveling for games last weekend, the Ravens are continuing to build their chemistry early in the season. Herkelman says the group maintains a laid-back attitude away from the court, which has helped bring the players closer together.
Tonight's matchup with Murray State College gets underway with tip off at 7:00 pm. Coffeyville will then host a Saturday matchup against Connors State College, which is scheduled for a 4 p.m. tipoff. Pregame coverage begins at 3:45 on US 98.
