After a one-year break due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Hoops For Heroes program returned to the OVC Basketball Championships this year.
The Hoops for Heroes initiative looks to honor veterans from Ohio Valley Conference schools that have served in the military. Now in its 11th year, the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) of the OVC selects a representative and invites them to attend the OVC Basketball Championships. The veteran honored is either a current student, alumni, or a parent of an active duty military member.
The Hoops for Heroes Initiative is great vehicle to recognize those in the OVC community who sacrifice so much for our freedom.
Below is this year’s honored veterans:
Austin Peay: Shannon Turner
Belmont: Donald Butler
Eastern Illinois: Michael Boner
Morehead State: Christian Wright
Murray State: James “Mike” Jones
SIUE: Paul Pitts
Tennessee State: Eric Owens
