Jordan White of Manhattan Christian College recentlyย was named the 2023 Pete Maravich Award recipient for Division II of the National Christian College Athletic Association.
White, a senior guard on the Thunder basketball team, โleads by example through his work ethic and character on and off the court. Heโs always the one tasked to guard the opponentโs best player, regardless of position,โ according to an article at NCCAA’s website.
โJordan is committed to Christ and has been the same, consistent guy every day for the last four years,โ said head coach Jordan Strom. โHe is the epitome of what we want our student-athletes to be.โ
Tyler Alarid of Ozark Christian College also was a finalist for the Pete Maravich Award.
The MCC Thunder advanced to the National Championship game for DII over the weekend before losing to Kansas Christian College. Ozark Christian College, Joplin, Mo., hosted the DII menโs and womenโs championships.
Other menโs teams completing strong seasons were Great Lakes Christian College, which dropped the consolation final to third-place finisher Crown College, and Ozark Christian College, which defeated Toccoa Falls College in the fifth-place match-up.
In womenโs DII basketball action, the Ambassadors from Ozark Christian dropped the fifth-place game to North Central University on Saturday.
