HERENDA ON WARD:"Darrell Ward started as a freshmen at the center position and had a great first semsester of basketball. This year we look to him to be more consistent throughout the entire season. Darrell is extremely strong, runs the floor well, blocks shots and can rebound. Just like our entire sophomore class, I look forward to Darrell taking the next step in all phases of his game."
