They always say like father, like son. Sons often aspire to be just like their fathers, mimicking what they say, how they dress and even how they act.
For Flagler men’s basketball coach Bo Clark, he is literally following right in his father’s footsteps–in more ways than one. Clark played for his father, Eugene “Torchy” Clark, on the UCF Men’s Basketball team, and now he coaches his own son, Matt Clark, on the Flagler team.

New year’s resolutions are never easy. Nor are they always followed through to the end. But for Elijah Hayes, backup point guard for the Flagler Saints, his first resolution is already coming to a successful close.

The Flagler College women’s basketball team has two players who are complete opposites in stature but alike in their love for the game.
Sophomore Rachel Brown stands above the rest at 6 feet 7 inches, while freshman Ebonee Bell doesn’t let her size of 5 feet 2 inches bring her down. The two girls said they hardly notice their height differences compared to their opponents.

When Chris Ryan didn’t make the basketball team after his sophomore year of high school, he didn’t want to give up on his dreams.
“I knew that I would never be able to make it to the NBA,” Ryan said. “That’s when I decided I wanted to coach.” Now he’s doing just that.
