Thursday, John A. Logan men's basketball coach Kyle Smithpeters was announced as an assistant coach to new Missouri coach Dennis Gates.  As he prepares to depart for Columbia, Smithpeters gave a parting statement that you can listen to below.

Smithpeters went 241-73 over 10 seasons as the head coach of the Vols and coached a pair of NJCAA Player of the Year in Sean East, who is also headed to Mizzou, and Jay Scrubb who went directly to the NBA after his time at John A. Logan College.

Smithpeters plans to join Sportsvoice on Saturday morning.

The Johnston City Indians had to fight for a win over #14 Auburn last week but they came out on top 16-8.  Now they're headed to #11 Breese (Mater Dei) this Saturday, a team that presents a lot of problems.  Matt Varney and head coach of the Indians, Todd Thomas, discussed both games and solutions to the Breese Mater Dei Knights.

John A. Logan men's basketball coach Tyler Smithpeters joined the program Tuesday night to discuss this week's final two regular season games as well as the upcoming Region 24 Tournament.
