Tigers Coach
Darrian Jones
This was the first year the Hiwassee played against four year institutions. The Tigers took their hits but also shocked a couple of powerhouse NAIA and NCAA Division II schools.
We have learned a lot throughout this year that will help us in recruiting and scheduling for next year.
The Tigers ended up with a winning record and also earned a bid to the National Tournament in Uniontown, Pennsylvania. The Tigers faced a tough Southern Virginia team and then fell to Northern New Mexico team in the second game.
This was a good year for the Men's Basketball team being ranked in the top 5 all year long and making it to the tournament. We came up short of the goal set out at the beginning of the year, but we have room to grow and pieces to add to get better for the future. |

Ryan McGrew
This was Coach McGrew’s first year as an assistant coach at Hiwassee. During this season he has helped the Tigers to achieve their best’ from the court to the classroom.
Coach McGrew specializes in his knowledge about strength and conditioning as well as his defensive teachings. He believes that with the knowledge gained this season and the strength of our upcoming recruiting class, the Hiwassee Tigers will be the team to beat.
Currently, he is finishing up his Bachelors at the University of Tennessee and plans to graduate in the fall of 2010. |
