Men's basketball team hosts scrimmage tonight

Waldorf College’s men’s basketball team kicks off the season tonight at 7:30 with a scrimmage against North Iowa Area Community College at Fieldhouse.


Head coach Chad Brown returns five players from last year’s team, including 6-foot-5 power forward Damien Riley, a senior from San Dimas, Calif. He averaged a team-high nine points last season.

The team began practicing in late September. Head coach Chad Brown said tonight's scrimmage is a chance for everyone to play.

“We’re really looking to see what we picked up offensively,” he said, adding that the coaching staff is introducing a new offensive scheme this season.

NIACC of Mason City is an old archrival of Waldorf when both schools were junior colleges.

Waldorf has another scrimmage – at Rochester Community and Technical College on Oct. 23 – before opening the season Oct. 29-30 at the Calumet St. Joseph Tournament in Whiting, Ind. Waldorf will play University of St. Francis (Ill.) and Calumet College of St. Joseph.

Waldorf opens Midwest Collegiate Conference play Dec. 1 on the road against William Penn University.
