Jamir Simpson! The 6’5 G/F plays at Lima Senior, one of the top Division I teams this year in Ohio, and is considered by most to be one of the top players in all of NW Ohio! 🐻🏀
Spent our afternoon collaborating with
@KentuckyMBB
at Jenny Wiley State Resort Park. We helped hand out winter clothes to flood victims that are still displaced from the flooding in August. Great day for the mountains!
We received terrible news today about the passing one of our biggest fans. Mrs. Suzi Wright will always be remembered as one of our most loyal supporters year in and year out. We ask that you keep her husband Nick and son Cameron in your thoughts and prayers during this time.
Former Pikeville 🐻 Donnis Butcher played 6 seasons in the NBA & was HC of the Detroit Pistons. In 1967, Phil Jackson’s rookie season with the Knicks, Butcher’s Pistons went 4-4 vs Jackson’s Knicks. Butcher, a 1961 draft pick of the Knicks, scored over 2,000 points at Pikeville.
Thank you doesn’t even begin to cover what you’ve meant to our 🏀 program and athletics department.
You elevated our program to new heights and we will be forever thankful.
Thank you,
@CoachKellyWells

Herb Kingsley, a long time behind the scenes contributor to our MBB & WBB programs, passed away today. Herb’s health had kept him away over recent years, but there wasn’t anyone more devoted to the Bears than he was. Keep his family in your thoughts & prayers.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Wells family today as they celebrate the lives of two of our biggest fans. Please continue to lift them up during these tough times.
