Wright St. Raiders
The Raiders have announced Clint Sargent as the new head coach, marking the 10th in school history. Sargent, who has been with the Wright State staff since 2016 and served as associate head coach for the last three years, is excited to lead the team to success after two years without a postseason appearance. The team's offense was a standout last season, with a high scoring average of 86.5 points per game, but struggled defensively, allowing 81.2 points per game. Despite losing their top scorers, the team has a strong core of returners including Brandon Noel and Alex Huibregtse. Wright State is ranked 4th in offense and faces challenges in defense, but with Sargent at the helm, the team is eager to continue building towards a championship level program.
