KADVAN STEPS DOWN IN UNITED

/in /by

HANOVERTON, OH- In what came as a surprise across the basketball community, United Local Head Basketball Coach Chris Kadvan has stepped down from his duties. Kadvan compiled a 56-86 record in his 6 seasons leading the Golden Eagles.

“As of June 2nd, 2020 I will be stepping down as the United Men’s Basketball coach. This decision was not an easy one to make, and comes with a heavy heart, however being a parent, husband, and educator first must remain my top priority. As a person who values dedication, I know that the commitment and time invested in both the off season and regular season is important to the success of the program.

When I was hired as the head coach of this program six years ago, I knew we had a tall task ahead of us. The program needed rebuilt and I tried my best to bring pride to United Men’s Basketball. During this time as head coach, we faced many ups and downs, wins and losses, and memorable experiences. Although this last season was not as successful as many would have liked, but that season does not define us. I can still say that I am proud of the community and school spirit that was reinstated. Stands were full and support was there surrounding the players and the game. I am hopeful that this new tradition of hard work and dedication will continue for these young men as they continue their basketball careers and that the youth program continues to grow.

I would like to thank all of the players that have helped to shape this program. It really started with them believing that the program could be something more. There are still many players that have graduated that I continue to keep in contact with and will always be there for them as needed. I would like to thank all of the coaches that have assisted me in coaching these young men and supported me in my coaching decisions. I lastly would like to thank the administration that hired me and believed in me to change this program. Since I was in 5th grade, every single winter has been dedicated to basketball and it is now time to dedicate my time to my family. I look forward to continuing to support this program and watch it grow.”

When reached for comment with YSN, Kadvan pointed to taking time for his family as a top priority for him.  The Kadvan’s welcomed their second bundle of joy this past spring.

We wish Chris Kadvan the best of luck in future endeavors and look forward to seeing him back on the hardwood in the future.

HANOVERTON, OH- It’s been an adjustment in Eagle Country with a new cast of characters in place.  Coach Chris Kadvan has been building experience during games for his team in hopes that they can grow roots quickly and excel on the floor this season.  A challenging early schedule has the Eagles off to a winless beginning, but as they say, “it’s not how you start, but how you finish” that’s keeping the morale high in United.

We sat down with Coach K for his weekly check-in on YSN, and to discuss the state of the Eagles, as well as what his team is doing off the court to build the team camaraderie.

All that and more on this week’s Coach’s Corner with Chris Kadvan!

BAKER, BAKER: THE DOUBLE-DOUBLE MAKER

/in /by

United Local’s Landon Baker is a high-caliber young man.  No ego, no strings, comes from a great family, very respectful, hard-nosed, blue-collar kind of gentlemen you’d want your daughter to date.  Add in that he’s a double-double machine that’s somehow flown under the radar all year while being one of the most dominant players on the court game in and game out??  To borrow a quote from Beyonce “Put a ring on it.”

Maybe not the same ring we’re talking about in the above paragraph, but Landon Baker knows what he’s worked so hard for, and he’s working toward some bling at the end of the season.  The Senior is averaging nearly 15 points and 11 rebounds per game, and also chips in with steals (1.6) while staying under 3 fouls per game on average.  That tells you that there’s discipline in his dedication that is leading to results.

Baker also has an incredible head on his shoulders and shares the same dreams as one of his teammates.  While he may not be providing electricity at the next level in college, he may be doing it in other ways.
