After a bumpy 2009-2010 campaign that resulted in 7 wins, Coach Felmet felt the need to regroup. However, the T-Ducks were able to return four returners: Ricky Roberts (Clarksville, TX), Perry Jackson (Milwaukee, WI), Thomas Davis (Lufkin, TX), and Matt Brown (Tatum, TX). All four sophomores stayed throughout the summer and some enrolled in classes, but most importantly they stayed here to strengthen a bond, a bond that would help them lead the fresh faces back to success.
Coach Felmet started with 24 players, 19 being new to Richland College. As of today, he is down to 18 with final cuts coming this week. The 2010-2011 T-Ducks have been working very hard both on and off of the court.
First official practice is Friday, October 1st. Coach Felmet says, "We are really excited about starting up. Once we get that first practice under our belt, and then come the scrimmages. I always look forward to the Mullens’ Jamboree because we usually get matched up with some tougher opponents and the new guys come out ‘wide eyed’ because they realize they aren’t in high school anymore."
The Mullens’ Jamboree will be played at Collin County College on Friday, October 8, and several schools within the Lewisville ISD on Saturday, October 9. The 2010-2011 T-Ducks will see their first action on October 9th at 1:30 pm, 3:30 pm, and 4:30 pm.
