Jae’dyn Gist, already known for his toughness and impact on the glass, has added another weapon to his game. He currently ranks among the top free-throw shooters in all of D3. A career 60% shooter, Jae’dyn’s offseason commitment is paying off in a big way 💪

Congratulations to senior Bryce Riley, the newest member of Berea’s 1,000-point club! He needed 19 tonight and got all 19, becoming the 39th Mountaineer to hit 1k — and doing it on Homecoming is extra special 💪

Thank you to Dr. Donald Caudill, Berea College Class of 1980, and author of The Success Pyramid! After 50 years of research, he brought his “winning” message to our team and provided each player with a copy of his book. Now it’s time for us to put it into action 🏆

Today marked @bereacollege’s 150th “Mountain Day” ⛰️ A tradition since 1875 that never gets old. The Mountaineers hit a timed mile, practice, and a Pinnacles hike — moments like these remind us what being a Mountaineer is all about 💙
