John A Logan Basketball coach Kyle Smithpeters sat down with Matt Varney before practice on Wednesday to discuss how the program is dealing with COVID-19, the release of a new schedule, a familiar face joining his coaching staff, the roster, and of course Jay Scrubb has to get a mention at the end too!
Herrin native and Nebraska Bowling team captain Cassidy Ray joined Sportsvoice on Saturday:
After an 11-2 season and just the program's third semifinal appearance, the Murphysboro Red Devils were selected as the John A. Logan College Team of the Year. The Red Devils walked in to the year knowing they would have an elite defense but had question marks all over the offensive side of the ball. Coach of the Red Devils, Gary Carter, talked with Matt Varney about the season, how things look for the 2024 season and beyond, and the catch heard round Southern Illinois that got Murphysboro past Harrisburg in the quarterfinals.
