6 San Jacinto College Men’s Basketball 2011-2012

In May 2011, Jacob Wonders became the seventh head coach of the San Jacinto College men’s basketball program. Wonders spent last season as a SJC assistant coach, and replaces Scott Gernander, who resigned in April 2011 after accepting a voluntary separation and severance plan offered by the College.

“I’m both honored and humbled to be named the San Jacinto College men’s basketball head coach,” said Wonders. “It’s a great time to be a part of this program. We’re coming off a successful season, and I look forward to building on that success and continuing the basketball tradition here at San Jac in the years to come. I’d like to thank Coach Gernander, Coach Horstman, Dr. (H. Neil) Matkin, Dr. (Brenda) Hellyer, and the rest of the San Jacinto College community for this opportunity.”

Wonders has more than 10 years coaching experience, including a four-year stint as head coach at Panola College in Carthage, Texas. Under his tutelage, the Ponies averaged more than 80 points per game each season (2006-2010), and qualified for the regional tournament in his last three seasons. Panola advanced to the regional semifinals in 2008, marking only the second time in 25 years for the Ponies. Wonders also saw 27 student-athletes continue their education and basketball careers at four-year universities, including 17 who earned scholarships to play at the NCAA Division I level.

Prior to his time at Panola, Wonders spent three years as an assistant coach at Houston Baptist University (HBU). With the Huskies he was responsible for scouting, academic monitoring, on-the-floor coaching, and coordinating recruiting efforts. During his tenure, HBU went 77-22, including three consecutive National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) national tournament berths and a top-10 national ranking in points per game. During the 2005-06 season, Wonders’ last at HBU, the Huskies finished 8th in the nation with a 27-6 overall record, and appeared in the NAIA Sweet Sixteen for the second time in school history.

Wonders began his coaching career at his alma mater, Central Michigan University, where he was a student assistant with the Chippewas. He then came to Texas where he served as an assistant coach for four years at Lamar University in Beaumont. During that time, Lamar won the 2000 Southland Conference tournament championship, and earned a berth in the NCAA tournament, the Cardinals’ only NCAA tournament appearance in the last 25 years. Wonders has also held coaching stints at Lewis-Clark State College in Lewiston, Idaho, and as a volunteer assistant coach at San Jacinto College during the 2001-02 season. In his first tour in Pasadena, San Jac went 30-2 overall, won the conference championship, and finished the season with a final National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) ranking of third.

“Coach Wonders was an excellent addition to the San Jacinto College basketball program when he joined us a year ago; he is well prepared to serve as head coach,” noted Dr. H. Neil Matkin, San Jacinto College Central campus president. “Jacob is extraordinarily talented, and I look forward to him leading the Ravens for many seasons to come.”

A native of Detroit, Mich., Wonders earned a degree in sports studies from Central Michigan University in 1997, and a master’s in kinesiology from Lamar University in 2000. He and his wife, Caren, have two children. He is a member of the National Association of Basketball Coaches and the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches (TABC). He currently serves as the College Men’s Director for the TABC Board.

Coach Profiles

Valerie NewlanderTeam Manager

Troy Rabon, MAT, ATC, LAT, is in his fifth year as an athletic trainer at San Jacinto College. He works primarily with softball, men’s soccer, men’s basketball, and the San Jac cheer squad.

Rabon enjoys working at San Jacinto College because of the relationships he is able to build with coaches and student-athletes. “It’s easier to develop strong and trusting relationships,” he says. As for his philosophy on athletic training, Rabon states, “I just try to instill in all of my student-athletes that I’m always here to help them.”

Rabon enjoys athletic training because he loves helping people and sports equally. For him, it was the perfect fit.

Prior to coming to San Jacinto College, Rabon worked on the collegiate level at the University of Texas, Texas Tech University, and Florida A&M University. He has also worked for the Dallas Cowboys and Atlanta Braves, in addition to a private position as a trainer for US Olympic track and field athletes.

Rabon holds a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology from the University of Texas, and a master’s in athletic training from Texas Tech Health Sciences Center. He resides in League City.

After spending three seasons as graduate assistant coach at his alma mater, Sam Houston State University, Scott R. Gernander returned in 2008 to the school where his collegiate playing days began to serve as an assistant coach under his legendary father. This season marks his fourth as an assistant coach on the San Jac sideline.

As a graduate assistant at Sam Houston State from 2005-2008, the younger Gernander coached on teams that recorded a combined 66-27 record, and had three 20-win seasons in the Southland Conference.

The 28-year-old Gernander played as a guard at SHSU from 2003 to 2005, averaging seven minutes a game as a top reserve. The Bearkats were 31-27 during his time on the hard court. Prior to playing at Sam Houston, Gernander was a member of the San Jacinto College men’s basketball team, where he played on teams that went 57-12, won two conference titles, and were national junior college runners-up. He averaged 8.1 points per game while at San Jac.

Before playing at San Jac for his father, the younger Gernander was a first team All-District and second team All-Region guard for Coach Boyce Paxton at Sam Rayburn High School in Pasadena. He averaged 17.8 points as a senior.

Gernander received his associate of arts from San Jacinto College in 2003, his bachelor’s degree in kinesiology from Sam Houston State in 2006, and a Master of Arts in Kinesiology in 2008. He married Amanda Crabtree in June of 2008 and they are the proud parents of a newborn son.

Scott R. GernanderAssistant Coach, Fourth SeasonSam Houston State University (2006, M.A. 2008)

Albert Talley Jr. of Cleburne comes to San Jacinto College in his first year as an assistant coach from Paris Junior College, where he served in the same position. Prior to his time at Paris Junior College, he was an assistant coach with Panola College.

His  experience includes playing basketball and serving as a student assistant coach for Texas Wesleyan University, where he was a member of the 2006 National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) national championship team. He was one of four recipients across the nation to receive the NAIA Champions of Character Award for his contributions on the court, in the classroom, and in the community. His other accolades include the  university’s Gene & Anne Burge Sportsmanship Award and Golden Crutch Award.

Talley holds a bachelor’s degree in exercise science, from Texas Wesleyan University and is working toward his master’s degree in coaching and athletic administration at Concordia University.  This marks his sixth year as a coach in Region XIV.

Former Players Find Success Beyond San Jacinto College

The names Sam Cassell and Steve Francis are often synonymous with San Jacinto College men’s basketball. However, the extent of successful players reaches well beyond. The list of former San Jac players includes, but is certainly not limited to, Ladell Eackles, a first-team All-American that was the 1986 national tournament most valuable player (he went on to play at the University of New Orleans); Ollie Taylor, a first-team All-American in 1968 before transferring to University of Houston; Tom Henderson, a two-time All-American who was the leading scorer of the U.S. Olympic basketball squad that lost a controversial game to Russia in the 1972 Munich Games (he was also an All-American at the University of Hawai‘i); Omar Sneed, an NJCAA player of the year and first-team All-American; Ray Williams a first-team All-American that went on to play for the University of Minnesota; and Boo Harvey, a first-team All-American that led San Jac to a national title. Some other notable players include:

Steve Francis (1996-97)Nicknamed “Stevie Franchise,” Francis played five seasons in Houston during the early part of his career, and later again signed with the Houston Rockets as a free agent. He also spent time with the Orlando Magic, New York Knicks and Memphis Grizzlies during his 10+ years in the NBA. As a member of the San Jac men’s basketball team from 1996 to 1997, Francis helped SJC reach the national title game, averaging 12.5 and 7.5 rebounds per game. He guided a talented San Jac team to 36 straight wins before a loss in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) national tournament. Francis went on to play for the University of Maryland.

Sam Cassell (1989-91)Cassell enjoyed a fine career in the National Basketball Association, and most recently, in 2008, he added another NBA championship to his résumé in what would prove to be his final season as a NBA player. Cassell was with San Jac for two seasons (1990–1992) and averaged 23.4 points, 7.6 assists and 5.1 rebounds a contest during an All-American sophomore season. After playing the 1992-93 season with Florida State, Cassell was a first-round pick of the Houston Rockets in 1993, where he helped the team win back-to-back NBA world championships (1993–1994 and 1994 –1995). In 17 seasons in the NBA, Cassell scored 15,635 points; grabbed 3,221 rebounds; and dished out 5,939 assists.

Walter Berry (1983-84)Berry left his mark on the San Jac men’s basketball program when he guided San Jac to a 35-2 overall record and a national championship during the 1983-84 season. He was a first-team All-American during that championship season and was named the most valuable player at the NJCAA national tournament. That season he set a school record for blocked shots in a game with 13 against Western Texas, and is second on the all-time scoring list behind Ollie Taylor. Berry went on to play for St. John’s University where he was the college player of the year, earning the John Wooden Award. He was a first round draft pick of the Portland Trailblazers.

Ollie Mack (1975-77)Mack led San Jacinto College to the national tournament in 1976 and 1977, where it advanced to the quarterfinals and finished as the national runner up, respectively. He was a two-time NJCAA all-tournament team honoree, and was the 1976 NJCAA national tournament most valuable player (scored a combined 110 points in the tournament that year). Mack was a first-team All-American in 1977 before playing for East Carolina University. He played professionally for the Dallas Mavericks, Chicago Bulls, and Los Angeles Lakers.

10 San Jacinto College Men’s Basketball 2011-2012

San Jacinto College’s all-time record over a 50-year span is 1,438-343 (.807) entering this season. San Jac won 20 consecutive conference titles between 1973 and 1993 and has seen 17 players earn All-America honors. The 1973-1992 championships were during the years of the Texas Junior College Athletic Conference while the 1993 title was from the 13-team Texas Eastern Athletic Conference. In addition, 18 San Jac players have become NBA draftees including former Houston Rockets’ guard Steve Francis, and former Boston Celtics guard, and current Washington Wizards assistant coach, Sam Cassell.

Levis Francis is in her second year as San Jacinto College cheerleading coach.

A former Baltimore Ravens cheerleading co-captain, Francis incorporates coaching techniques that include sharp motions, clean routines, solid stunting, and an overall uniformed look.

“Our style this year is very collegiate,” said Francis. “At the same time, we do incorporate different styles, including funk and hip-hop elements into our routines to show our versatility.”

Along with her NFL cheerleading experience, Francis has eight years of coaching experience, including five years with Los Angeles Valley College. She is certified by the National Cheerleading Association and the United Spirit Association and holds a bachelor’s degree in communication from Morgan State University and a master’s degree in physical education from Azusa Pacific University.

Surrounded by the monuments of history, the industries and maritime enterprises of today, and the space age of tomorrow, San Jacinto College has been serving the citizens of East Harris County, Texas, for 50 years. The College’s service area includes the Channelview, Deer Park, Galena Park, La Porte, Pasadena and Sheldon Independent School Districts, as well as portions of the Humble, Pearland, and Clear Creek school districts.

The college roots date back to May of 1960 when voters in the district approved the creation of East Harris County Union Junior College and a seven-member Board of Regents was established. The name was changed a few times over its history to its current San Jacinto Community College District, although it has always been informally referred to as San Jacinto College. In September of 1961, 876 students attended the College at its location in Pasadena. Since then, the College has grown to include three campuses, seven extension centers, a continuing and professional development division, distance learning, a dual credit program with local high schools, an early college high school in cooperation with Clear Creek ISD, and an enrollment of more than 29,000 credit students each semester.

San Jacinto College is committed to the citizens of East Harris County. At the core of our values is student success… the reason for our being. Our comprehensive community college mission is to empower students who come with a wide variety of goals to find the assistance they need at their college, San Jacinto College. Our commitment to the community is to assist in developing a skilled and trained workforce through the Continuing & Professional Development (CPD) division, which offers programs and courses for individuals to retain or advance in their jobs, or make career transitions.

We have made a strong commitment to academic excellence. Our students choose from more than 140 degree and certificate programs in a variety of fields including academic transfer programs to four-year institutions and a wide assortment of technical and work force training programs. Our award-winning faculty members are passionate about teaching.

The College has placed an emphasis on upgrading facilities and technology to support student learning for the last 10 years. From the 1999 bond election, the College’s three campuses have a state-of-the-art Interactive Learning Center and Fine Arts Centers. In May 2008, the College passed a $295 million bond referendum to further enhance student success. Through these funds, we will continue to upgrade facilities especially in the areas of science and allied health. We are committed to upgrading our libraries and will create student one-stop shop resources so students have one place to go to get the services they need.

Students who attend San Jacinto College are offered a wide array of services, ranging from tutoring and advising at the Student Success Centers, to financial aid assistance from knowledgeable and well-trained financial aid advisors. Students are also provided career assessment testing and assistance with résumés and interviews for employment. San Jacinto College offers assistance with the admissions, enrollment, and financial aid process, and the special populations office provides
