I’D LIKE TO THANK JOHN AIKEN WHO IS THE HEAD COACH FOR MCNEESE STATE UNIVERSITY COWBOYS IN LAKE CHARLES, LOUISIANA IN THE SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE IN NCAA DI FOR SHARING HIS THOUGHTS ON 2021-22 CAMPAIGN WITH THE CANNON NETWORK. HE SHARED, “I’M REALLY EXCITED FOR THE UPCOMING SEASON AND THE START OF OFFICIAL PRACTICE NEXT WEEK. ITS BEEN A LONG 13 MONTHS FOR OUR UNIVERSITY AS WE HAVE RECOVERED FROM TWO HURRICANES, AN ICE STORM AND ONCE IN A CENTURY FLOODING. BUT WE ARE REBUILDING THIS COMMUNITY AND A BIG PART OF THAT IS THROUGH OUR ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT. MCNEESE IS A SPECIAL PLACE, WE HAVE AN UNBELIEVABLE HISTORY OF WINNING IN MANY OF OUR SPORTS, WE ARE FORTUNATE TO HAVE A NBA HALL OF FAMER AS AN ALUM WHO NOW CALLS THE SHOTS FOR NBA FRANCHISES. MCNEESE IS A VERY PROUD PLACE AND OUR FUTURE COULD NOT BE BRIGHTER! I LOVE MY TEAM, WE ARE VERSATILE, WE ARE COMMITTED TO A BIGGER PURPOSE AND WE ARE CREATING A GREAT IDENTITY WITH OUR GROUP. I AM VERY BLESSED AND FORTUNATE TO SIT IN THE CHAIR I SIT. THANKS FOR ALL YOU ARE DOING AND GOOD LUCK IN YOUR CONTINUED GROWTH OF CANNON!”
