“I look forward to continue developing the students’ mindset on the court,” Kenner said. “My
goal is to cultivate a healthy, positive environment that fosters personal growth and a strong
connection with the community while ensuring a meaningful experience for our student-athletes
during their time here at LaGrange College.”
Former LC Football head coach and current Interim Athletic Director Steve Pardue expressed his
confidence in the team and Kenner. “We are very excited to have someone with Kenner's
experience lead our basketball program,” he said. “Without a doubt, I think he will do a great
job.”
