Joe Edwards

199697 AllAmericanThe oldest o six in his hometown o Unice Louisiana Joe Edwards was a young

man with considerable potential on the court tempered by mounting responsibili

ties at home However ate intervened to bring Joe to Lee College While Coach Roy

Champaigne was in Louisiana to recruit another player an assistant coach spotted

Joe regularly putting 3 points per game on the board in high school play Coach

Roy had a tough time convincing Edwardss mother to let him leave home to play

basketball in Baytown Texas but was eventually successul in his recruiting eort

Ater seeing Edwardss potential to become a truly great player Joe was redshirted

his rst year by the Lee coaching sta Even though he only played or a total o 13

minutes on the court his reshman season he managed to post 10 points during

that short court time Known or his extreme endurance on the court his sopho

more year at Lee saw the hard work and talent nally coming to bear or the Runnin

Rebels as Edwards averaged 65 points per game and posted 0+ points per game

in 0 out o conerence games that season capping o his Lee College career as

Lee Colleges rst AllAmerican player

Patrick Okafor

199900 AllAmericanIn the history o great Lee College basketball players many were endowed with

tremendous natural talent Such was the case o Patrick Okaor but it was his ability

to learn and in a systematic way apply newly ound knowledge and understanding

that made him stand apart leading to his appointment to the 9900 All American

team

Okaor took a undamental approach to basketball observing other players study

ing the game itsel and tweaking what he saw worked or others with his own spe

cial style His systematic approach to the game even caused him to keep a record

o how oten he went to the ree throw line

During his time at Lee College Patrick was able to develop a playing style describedas chin basketball in which the ball is kept high when handling orbidding oppo

nents access to interere with handling or shooting This made him one o the best

post players in Lee College History and allowed him to go on to a successul career

with the University o Houston

Mike White

200506 AllAmericanI there is a great story about coming to Lee College a good man and leaving an

even better one then Mike Whites story is it Mike came to Lee rom Northwest

Louisiana rom under the shadow o his allconerence older brother In the beginning he was a reserved player who did not socialize or spend much time talking

with his teammates Ater a month on the team Mike even entertained the idea o

quitting but decided to stick with it

The results speak or themselves: White rst hit the court with the Running rebels

carrying 88lb on his 6 4 rame with 198% body at Through hard work dedica

tion to a goal and perseverance he stepped o the court as a Running rebel or

the last time at 38lb with 85% body at His inner competitive spirit had become

obvious to all and his introversion was replaced with an aggressive style who drew

300 ouls his reshman year as a post player

Such development was obvious to Indiana University recruiters who picked him up

to play or them ater his time at Lee College was done


6/266

Andre Joseph 200002Houston native Andre Joseph was rst introduced to Lee College basketball as a high school

player in the High School Classic Tournament at Lee College his sophomore year Ater a year

with Steven F Austin University Andre landed at Lee College as part o arguably the best class

o Runnin Rebels one o two in the top 100 in the conerence Andre made his contribution to

the team as an oensive powerhouse Ater an o night o 19 points per game he could be

ound shooting on his own the next morning

Andres initiative to learn oense and tenacity to stick with his development allowed him to

be a pivotal part o the 39 record team his sophomore year His perormance did not end

there carrying him on to play or Oregon in the Pac 10 a personal dream where he was

named Pac 10 newcomer o the year and played alongside two uture NBA players all the way

to the Elite Eight

Ricky Huckaby 200104Leaving his hometown o Mexia Tx Ricky initially signed with the University o Houston but

decided that Lee College would be the place to hone his shooting skills and personal develop

ment Arriving in Baytown coaches and ans soon realized that what Ricky lacked In shooting

skill he made up or with his unbelievably ast ball handling and determinatinon to improve

Ater red shirting his second year due to a broken wrist Ricky returned to with vengeance

to improve himsel as a Runnin Rebel He stayed beore and ater regular team practices to

improve his individual skills listened intently to coaches without complaining and soon ound

himsel at the center o one o Lee Colleges alltime greatest teams That year 00304 Ricky

and the team pulled out a 39 record with 11 straight conerence wins

Ater his time with Lee College Huckaby went on to play Division II ball with Texas A&M Com

merce and proessionally overseas

Dominique Keller 200608A legend rom the Golden Triangle Port Arthur native Dominique Keller turned down attrac

tive oers rom other colleges in order to grow and mature at Lee College Lee has a history as

a place where just about anyone can nd a home to develop as an individual and Dominique

took advantage o the ertile grounds at Lee

As part o his development coaches prompted Keller to play dierent positions learning the

nuances o each position He took advantage o these opportunities to become the second

leading scorer in the conerence and in the country

But basketball is not all about knowledge it is a game o willpower to keep going and pushing

harder Dominique played hard reusing to give up taking pride not only in his school but a

personal pride in his individual perormance

Hollis Giles 200608The story o Houston native is not one o an immediate rise to prominence on the court rather

it is a meandering story o determination which pays o with eventual success In the 0405season Giles originally was not able to make the team despite trying out In 005 Giles ap

proached Coach Champaigne with a burning desire to be a part o the team even i it was not

on the court playing Seeing the rare but valuable qualities o resilience and oldashioned

grit Champaigne gave him a spot on the team as a manager/camera man

The story could have ended there but it was just the beginning o Hollis legacy at Lee Col

lege He applied his work ethic to his position as manager/camera man and used that time to

develop a maturity and understanding o the game that would benet him greatly when he

nally secured a players spot on the team in 006 From then until his nal days on the court

or lee in 008 Giles became a leading scorer or Lee and the second leading scorer in the

conerence league

Roy Champagne Head Coach

Philosophy

I believe in the dignity and selworth o every individual Extra

curricular activities open an opportunity to ensure high selesteem

and selworth My philosophy centers around teaching lie skills

through coaching to every individual

My most important attribute as a coach is my ability to com

municate The quality o what I get across to my players is directly

related to the quality o my communication What I would hope to

instill in my players is a constant desire to be successul Obviously

we all have dierent dreams and ideas o what we want to create or

our lives In addition Im very clear that who you know where you

go and what you own are not the true measure o personal success

To me success is the ongoing process o striving to become more It

is the opportunity to continually grow emotionally socially spiritu

ally physiologically intellectually and nancially while contributing

in some positive way to others The Success Road is always under

construction Is it a progressive course not an end to be reached

Success is simply preparation coming ace to ace with opportunity

It is very important that I be organized People will respond in

a more positive manner when they are challenged It is my job to

know the strengths and weaknesses o my players and program Un

derstanding this I will never ask a player to attempt something he is

not capable o doing I believe a coach should lead by example Thus

striving to maintain the highest standards belies integritylooking

ater the smallest detail sticking to the basics going the extra mile

Competition places an unbelievable amount o pressure on

young athletes It is vital that a coach help his players understand

that without error there would be no competitive sports I believe

that a prime ingredient in the making o a champion is this conquer

ing o the ear o making a mistake This is accomplished by believing

in FEF; have FUN be ENTHUSIASTIC and stick to the FUNDAMEN

TALS

No great task was ever accomplished without the discipline

to work hard Success is not something that is inherited rather it is

gained the old ashion way It must be earned Through it all one

must realize that there is no substitute or hard work


11/2611

Have I Made A Diference?

When I look back at my career, my denition o suc-

cess will be, did I make a diference? Did I make a

diference on this campus? Did I make a diference

in peoples lives? Are my players better of now than

they were when they arrived? Have I prepared them

or lie? I I can answer yes to those questions, and i

Ive accomplished those goals, then Ive had success.
