Stephen Green EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS James Jackson Basketball Coordinator Dr. Tekshia Ward -Smith ATHLETIC SPECIALIST Chris Chilton ATHLETIC SPECIALIST Mark Brock 2 DEKALB COUNTY’S LONG HISTORY OF STATE CHAMPIONS DeKalb County’s proud basketball history began and continues with a championship pedigree. The Clarkston boys brought home the first state trophy in 1940, and 41 other teams have since realized the big prize in the ensuing 76 years. From legendary coach Elmer Morrow ’s dominating boys teams at Druid Hills in the 1950s to the current boys powerhouses at Miller Grove and Columbia, the list of win- ners is an impressive one. Druid Hills knocked off Avondale (50 -44), Tifton (47 -44) and Jeff Davis (55 -42) in state finals in 1953, 1954 and 1957 respectively. Stone Mountain and Clarkston on the boys side, and Druid Hills and Stone Mountain among the girls served as the other early local powers. E.L. Rainey , another of DeKalb County’s original hoop coaching giants, led Stone Mountain to the Class B crown in 1957. Tom Church guided Clarkston to its second boys state championship with a victo- rious effort in the class B final in 1964. The girls matched the boys for the first time at Druid Hill in 1960, with Virginia Canady coaching that squad to the Class AAA title.

  • Devon Energy College Basketball Awards Announced; Oklahoma State’S Marcus Smart Heads Tisdale Watch List
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 15, 2012 Devon Energy College Basketball Awards Announced; Oklahoma State’s Marcus Smart Heads Tisdale Watch List OKLAHOMA CITY – The focus of NCAA men’s college basketball will be squarely on Oklahoma April 15, 2013 when the Devon Energy College Basketball Awards honors four of the game’s best. The name of the new awards event, formally known as the Wayman Tisdale Awards Gala, was unveiled this morning at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, the site of the 2013 gala. As was announced earlier this year, the presentation of the Oscar Robertson Player of the Year Trophy presented by AFLAC, the Henry Iba Coach of the Year Award, and the Integris Wayman Tisdale Freshman of the Year Award, will be combined into a gala to be held annually the Monday following the NCAA Men’s Final Four. The U.S. Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) has previously presented the Robertson and Iba awards at its Champions Breakfast annually at the Final Four. The honoree receiving the Wayman Tisdale Humanitarian Award, presented by Devon Energy, will also be recognized at the Oklahoma City gala. ESPN’s Dick Vitale and Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski were the first two Humanitarian honorees and were on hand at the event. Devon Energy has been the founding presenting sponsor of the Tisdale event since its inception in 2011 and Alan Marcum, Devon executive vice president of administration, was on hand Monday morning to announce Devon’s commitment to the event and specifically to the Tisdale name through the Humanitarian Award. “It will be exciting for Devon, as an Oklahoma City-based company, to have the winners of these four prestigious awards here on the same stage for the first time,” Marcum said.

  • MEDIA GUIDE VLADE DIVAC GENERAL MANAGER Vlade Divac Enters His Sixth Season at the Kings, His Fifth As General Manager
    2019-20 PRESEASON MEDIA GUIDE VLADE DIVAC GENERAL MANAGER Vlade Divac enters his sixth season at the Kings, his fifth as General Manager. He joined the Kings on March 3, 2015 as the team’s vice president of basketball and franchise operations and was named General Manager on August 31, 2015. One of the most respected and revered individuals in franchise history, Divac returns to Sacramento having spent more than a decade serving the NBA and international sporting communities with the same distinction that solidified his reputation as a consummate teammate, player, humanitarian and overall difference-maker on and off the basketball court. Divac has served in a variety of administrative and leadership roles since retiring from professional basketball in 2007. In addition to his philanthropic efforts focused on helping children in his native country and other reaches of the globe, he was named President of the Serbian Olympic Committee in 2009. Under his guidance, Serbian athletes have enjoyed greater success and the country is experiencing a resurgence on the international stage. In 16 NBA campaigns with Los Angeles, Charlotte and Sacramento, Divac averaged 11.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.1 steals, and 1.4 blocks per game over 1,134 contests. He is only one of four players in league annals to accrue at least 13,000 points, 9,000 rebounds, 3,000 assists, 1,200 steals and 1,600 blocked shots, joining Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Hakeem Olajuwon and Kevin Garnett with that distinction. His six seasons in a Kings uniform marked the most successful period in team history, including a league-high 61 wins in 2001-02 and a trip to the Western Conference Finals.
