he 2011-2012 season promises to
be exciting for the Emmanuel
College Lions men’s basketball team.
The team returns five players from a
team that went 26-8, and won the
Southern States Athletic Conference
tournament championship. This marked
the first time in school history that an
Emmanuel athletic team of any sort has
won an SSAC conference tournament championship. Other highlights of last season include finishing
second in the SSAC East Division for the regular season, four victories of Top 25 teams including an
upset of then-number 2 Mountain State University who finished as the national runner-up, and the
Lion’s second ever trip to the NAIA National Tournament in Kansas City, Missouri. The Lion’s
showed no shortage of success away from the court either as they were named 2010-2011 SSAC
Sportsmanship Team Award. The team finished the year with a national ranking of #21 in the NAIA.
A big reason for much of the Lions’ success last year lies in head coach T.J. Rosene. Rosene
enters his fifth year as head coach of the men’s program, and ninth year as a head coach overall. He
was named 2011 SSAC Coach of the Year, as well as 2011 NCCAA South Regional Coach of the
Year.
“This should be an interesting and exciting year,” said Coach Rosene about the upcoming
year. “We have a unique mix of new and old players. I am really proud of, and excited about our
captains, seniors Graham Maxwell and Tiek Fields, along with sophomore point guard Michael
Stanley. They bring a lot to the team both on and off the court. I think they will help push the
younger guys to be up for the challenge.”
Rosene will be assisted by Derrick Mason, who enters his third season as assistant coach for
the Lions. Mason also serves as the head coach for the Lion’s JV program. Also, assisting will be
newcomer Jonathan Mattox who is a 2011 graduate of Emmanuel College. Mattox was also a part of
the 2010-2011 Lions’ conference championship team.
After losing six seniors from last year’s team, this year’s Lions team will be thin on
experience. Although they only have five players returning from last year’s team, three of those
players seek to play a major role. Michael Stanley, Asmatiek Fields, and Graham Maxwell are the
leaders of this year’s team.
T
Stanley will be doing much of the play making this year as the team’s point guard. Much of
the offensive decision-making lies upon his shoulders, but he embraces challenges. The sophomore
played in all 34 games last year, and even led the team in minutes played. He was the team’s
fourth-leading scorer at just over 8 points per game, and was the team leader in assists. For all of
his contributions, Stanley was named SSAC Freshman of The Year as seasons’ end. Plus, after
his extraordinary play during the conference tournament, he was name to the All-Tournament
Team.
Fields and Maxwell are both four-year players for the Lion’s program. The two seniors
will be relied on heavily for on-court production, as well as leadership of a young Lions team.
Fields was one of the best sixth men in the conference last season. Even though he was not
considered a starter, he played huge minutes and was often making plays in clutch time. Known
as a very versatile player, Fields would often fill up a box score. He was the team’s third leading
scorer, bringing 9.5 points off the bench last season, and also led the team in steals at nearly 1.5
per game.
Field’s partner in crime Graham Maxwell is the team’s leading returning scorer. Maxwell
is a deadeye shooter who averaged nearly 11.5 point per game while shooting an outstanding
41.4% from three-point range last year. He was named to the SSAC East Division All-Division
Team, while also being named a National NAIA Champion of Character Recipient. This award
only goes to four players from NAIA schools throughout the country, who exhibited exceptional
character on the court, in the classroom, and in the community.
This year’s Lions team also returns guards Isaiah Tyus and Joey Moon. Tyus a junior,
and Moon a sophomore both played unselfish roles on last year’s team. Chad Callaway is a
newcomer to the varsity team, having two years of experience with Emmanuel’s JV program.
Other newcomers include Jeremy Burgess, Nathan Tew, Jason Smith, and Andre Holder
all of whom redshirted last season. Burgess and Tew look to make contributions on the
perimeter, while Smith and Holder look to bring an inside game. Also looking to bring an added
inside presence will be transfer Francisco Luano. Emmanuel also looks to get contributions out
of freshmen Austin Biggs, Luke Miller, and Johan Pennerat.
This year’s team looks to play a more up-tempo style than a year ago. It should be
another exciting year for the Emmanuel College men’s basketball team.

The Lions pulled off the
biggest upset of their
successful season. The NAIA
no. 2 ranked Mountains State
University Cougars fell to
the Lions 71-60 as the Lions were fighting to get back into
the national scene. A night in which a smaller Lions team
jumped out of their shoes to out rebound the bigger Cougars
41-32. The Lions only trailed at the beginning of the game
3-2 before making several runs and leading by 12 at the half
by a score of 40-28. The shoeless head coach said after the
game, referring to the Cougars, "That's a good basketball
team. They are so talented and I just thought our guys
battled. We did our job tonight. Guys stepped in from the
bench ready to play. We were patient and shared the
basketball. We just put together a really good effort tonight."
