TexAnns in the Top-25
For the first time in school history, the Tarleton TexAnn basketball program cracked the USA Today/ESPN Division II Coaches poll.
The TexAnns debuted at No. 24 in this week's poll following a 14-2 record through the first 16 games.
Head coach Ronnie Hearne told me after finding out about the national ranking, that he mentioned to his team before the start of the season that it had the potential to do a lot of things that no other TexAnn team had done. This was just a first of what could be many more accomplishments to come.
This is a great aciement for coach Hearne, the 2009-10 TexAnn team and the entire Tarleton TexAnn basketball program.
Congratulations TexAnns.
