MEN’S HOOPS - 1970Ken Warzynski set a Blue Demon record by grabbing 28 rebounds against Harvard on this day in 1970, beating his former high of 22 that he accomplished against John F. Kennedy Univer-sity in 1969. Warzyn-ski currently sits fourth on the list for career rebounding (890) and third for career average (11.6). Warzynski also could fill it up finishing with 1,203 points.

WOMEN’S HOOPS - 2004The Blue Demons rolled to a 92-49 win over Holy Cross on January 3, 2004.

NAME: CHARLES SOWELLSPORT(S): MEN’S BASKETBALLYEARS PARTICIPATED: 1986-1990

What does being a DePaul Letter winner mean to you?It’s a badge of honor because not only did I play but I graduated. That my friend is priceless.

Why did you choose DePaul?I chose DePaul because of the location. I fell in love with Chicago and loved DePaul University.

What was your favorite memory while at DePaul?Stepping on the floor for practice in Ohio during the NCAA sweet 16. The atmosphere was incredible.

What did receiving a scholarship from DePaul mean to you?It was a chance to chase two dreams of playing basketball and graduating from a top notch college.

What was your funniest memory at DePaul?I remember during freshman year walking down town with Curtis Jackson and James Hamby when we realized Curtis wasn’t walking with us anymore. We turned around and Curtis said in amazement with his head pointed straight up in the air and his strong Boston accent, “My God Man, Look at that Freaking Building!” His accent and the look of total amazement with the Sears tower caught us off guard and we couldn’t stop laughing that night and not for four years. Sorry, Curtis.

Brief Summary of your life from graduation till now:I played overseas profesionally for about a year and got bored so I chased my second Dream and became a soldier. I have been married to my best friend Cheryl for 16yrs and we have two daughthers and grand-children.

What advice would you give to a current or future student-athlete?You started this journey because you had a dream, a passion that you could play as well as him or her or even better. So, you’ve arrived. Now is the time to push even harder for success on & off the court.
