The last day of class at Kirkwood Community College is May 11. For Kirkwood basketball players it also brings about a transition of either entering the workforce or transferring to a four-year institution.
The men's team, coached by Doug Wagemester, includes six sophomores who will be leaving after this school year. The list includes guard Rodney Jackson, guard Grant Hargett, guard Julius Moor, guard/forward Fred Dudley, guard/forward Shaun Logan, and forward Greg Surmacz. All six are undecided on where to play next but a few Division II schools have recruited both Logan and Dudley.
Logan has received interest from St. Cloud State University and Central Missouri State He is third on the team in points, with an average of 13.6 per game and is first in rebounds with 7.6 per game. Dudley leads the team in points with an average of 15.4 per game and 6.8 boards per game, while hitting 53.6 percent of his total shots and 42.3 percent of his three-point shots.
Hargett averages 11.7 points per game while shooting 50 percent from the floor. He leads the team in three-point shooting with 47.6 percent. Forward Greg Surmacz, standing 6'8", is the tallest Eagle and averages 6.2 points per game and 5.9 boards per game. Guard Julius Moor averages 4.1 points per game.
The women's team, coached by Kim Muhl, will lose seven players after this year, including guard Amy Wold, guard Jenn Angler, forward Whitney Maxey, guard Missy Morrow, forward Toccara Ross, forward Jesse Kleinschmidt and forward Kim DeVries.
