Mwenentanda eager for opportunity with Vanderbilt

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — Ndjakalenga Mwenentanda is a former Washington high school standout, who just made a run to the Final Four with Texas. Now, she's on the move to another SEC School. Ndjakalenga played three season with the Texas Longhorns, appearing in 37 games this past year as a junior. She started in 15 games, including the Final Four contest against South Carolina. 'I love Texas and I got what I needed out of Texas. I got my degree,' Mwenentanda said. 'I just wanted something different.' Mwenentanda entered the transfer portal following her junior season. 35 teams reached out to her, but she had to picky, knowing she has just one year of eligibility left. 'Being a part of some rebuilding process wouldn't have allowed me enough time. I had to look at the options that were the best fit for me, as far as teams that were a little bit more established,' Mwenentanda said. Another factor in Ndjakalenga's decision was the ability to help fill her goals, which include playing basketball beyond college. 'The goal is to play pro basketball and that's why I entered to portal, to see where I can best take that stepping stone to achieve my goal of playing basketball,' Mwenentanda said. Her decision brought her to the Music City of Nashville, becoming the newest player for Vanderbilt. 'There are a lot of girls on the team that want to go pro. I know, being in a final four atmosphere, you've got to have everybody that really wants it,' Mwenentanda said. 'Those who are willing to sacrifice and put time towards the same goal.' While Ndjakalenga is taking her talents to Vandy, her heart will always be in South Dakota, a state providing plenty of support for the Sioux Falls native. 'I grew up in Sioux Falls and I've still got friends I keep in touch with. I keep in touch with Parish over at Washington as well,' Mwenentanda said. 'I think Sioux Falls definitely has a permanent place in my heart, because of what it has provided me.' Mwenentanda will make some trips back and forth to Nashville throughout the summer as she gets ready for the basketball season later this year. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Two Lowcountry natives returning to coach basketball at The Citadel

Courtesy of The Citadel Athletics CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Citadel Head Men's Basketball Coach Ed Conroy is pleased to announce the hiring of Andrew Glover and Brady Schuck as assistant coaches. Conroy, entering the fourth season of this second stint with the Bulldogs, welcomes these two accomplished coaches to the staff, bringing a variety of experiences, local ties and a passion for student-athlete development. 'We feel fortunate that we were able to attract and hire Andrew and Brady as they will be terrific coaches to our staff,' said Conroy. 'I have known them both for a long time and watched them progress throughout their careers. Andrew and Brady are the perfect additions to help us keep building our program to the level we all want for The Citadel basketball.' Glover, a Charleston native and Wando High School alumnus, joins The Citadel after spending the past season as the head coach at Myers Park High School in Charlotte, N.C., where he led his squad to a conference championship and Elite Eight finish while earning Conference Coach of the Year honors. Prior to Myers Park, Glover spent four years as the inaugural Head Boy's Basketball Coach at Lucy Beckham High School, leading the team to the Elite Eight in 2022-23 and Sweet Sixteen in 2023-24, earning Coach of the Year honors along the way. A captain of Wando's 2014 State Championship team, he has a proven track record of success and deep roots in the Lowcountry. Glover's coaching journey includes experience at both the college and high school levels. He spent two seasons as an assistant coach at USC Aiken, contributing to player development and game strategy. Prior to that, he served as an assistant coach on state championship teams in 2018 and 2019 at Grey Collegiate Academy. As a player, Glover competed at USC Aiken, Spartanburg Methodist and Hargrave Military Academy. 'I'm honored and grateful for the opportunity to join The Citadel basketball program,' said Glover. 'As a Charleston native, it means the world to me to be able to represent my hometown and be a part of a program built on discipline, tradition and respect. I want to sincerely thank Coach Conroy for trusting me and welcoming me to his staff. I'm excited to get to work with our student-athletes and our staff, helping to build something special.' Schuck, another Charleston native, brings a wealth of basketball knowledge and leadership to The Citadel. He spent the past two seasons as an assistant coach at Flagler College, being a part of two winning seasons with the Saints, including a 20-win campaign in 2023-24 that culminated in trip to the Peach Belt Conference Championship game. He broke into the collegiate coaching ranks after two successful seasons as the head coach at James Island Charter School, leading the Trojans to the Sweet Sixteen in 2023 and Region Championship in 2024, earning Region Coach of the Year honors in the process. Schuck played four seasons at Furman University and was a member of the Paladins 2016-17 SoCon Championship team. 'I'm grateful and excited for the opportunity to become an assistant coach at such a prestigious institution as The Citadel,' said Schuck. 'I'm excited to work with a great group of student-athletes and learn from Coach Conroy, someone I have a profound respect for. Getting the chance to do all of this while coaching college basketball in my hometown of Charleston makes it even more special.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Front and center, Brookline boys' volleyball blocks Newton North to clinch trip to Division 1 final

Related : With six blocks and three kills, Gallucci was part of a Brookline brigade in the middle with junior Liam Raybould (nine kills) that helped handle senior Simon Vardeh, who cranked out 18 kills for the No. 4 Tigers (18-6). Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Brookline will take on No. 3 Needham in Friday's state final at Xaverian (6:30 p.m.). Advertisement First-year coach Lexi De La Cruz coaches Vardeh at SMASH Volleyball Club and knew what to expect, calling upon his middles for more after the first set. 'My team fights,' he said. 'I always told them we're Brookline Warriors. Until the other team doesn't get to 25 points, we always have a chance. That's been our motto the whole season, and I think they live up to it.' Senior Kris Vaivars (24 kills) increased the intensity, with junior Amir Tomer (10 kills, 1 block) and Conor Christopher (6 kills, 1 block) also finishing points at the net. Advertisement De La Cruz called upon Vaivars to close out the match, and he delivered five of his kills in Brookline's final eight points. 'I think that everyone in the front row did a great job, whether we were blocking them straight down, getting touches, setting up a good block, forcing them to tip,' Vaivars said. 'That made a huge difference. Once we were able to get that stop or get that dig, we were able to score a lot of easy transition points and I think that's the difference maker.' Junior Alec Smagula dished 47 assists, but also extended the first set with a block and showed his abilities with three kills in the first two sets. When the Tigers had to put up a block opposite him, he pushed the ball to the pins where lanes were open. 'I could have dumped more, but my team is so strong,' he said. 'I have so many weapons that I want to give the balls to my guys . . . but they still know I'm a threat. When I show them that early, get them jumping, it's one of my favorite things.' North played a terrific season despite graduating some of the state's best players and enduring injuries leading up to the playoffs. 'It was a really good season. A lot of kids got better,' said North coach Nile Fox. 'We went through a few things, but we were able to come back and make it to the Final Four. We didn't get to where we wanted to be, but it was a good season.' Needham 3, Natick 1 — Seeded third in the bracket, the Rockets (22-5) played with the poise and fury of a confident group in its semifinal win against Bay State Conference rival Natick (19-4), the No. 2 seed. Advertisement Junior Andrew Kurdziel delivered 10 kills, 3 aces, 3 digs, 2 blocks and classmate Matty Cloonan had 14 kills, 5 digs, and 1 ace as the Rockets dominated from the first serve, taking the first two sets, 25-14 and 25-14, on their way to victory at Concord-Carlisle, the program's fifth straight trip to the state final. 'It just lit a fire in us,' Cloonan said. 'People didn't think we were going to win, and that just fueled us.' Down 2-0, and with the season on the line, Natick (19-4) held its own against the Rockets (22-5) to win the third set 25-19. Branch Barnes and Cody Gibendi combined for 20 kills, 1 ace, and two blocks. But it wasn't long until the Rockets added fuel to their engine, pulling ahead ahead midway through the fourth set and win 25-14 once again. 'No one wants to go to a fifth set,' Needham coach Dave Powell said. 'There was a sense of urgency from our guys and [we played] some crisp volleyball.' For Natick, the loss was devastating. Acting coach Brendan Carroll described the team's wins over No. 1 Brookline and No. 4 Needham during the regular season as 'null and void.' 'But, to get back to this point after last year, [losing] against Newton North, it was a big, big difference,' he said. 'So, I'm proud of the boys for how they fought all season.' Kurdziel earned the final kill that punched the Rockets' ticket to the final. Advertisement 'It feels amazing,' he said. 'Natick's a great team, but we were prepared for them. We used all of our resources, so we came in here and did what we knew we could do.' Division 2 State Wayland 3, Westfield 1 — With the Warriors ahead, 2-0, senior Liam Frenzel had a flashback to last year's final, when Westfield pulled off a reverse sweep to stun Wayland. In the rematch, Westfield again charged back to claim the third set, but third-seeded Wayland (16-8) slammed the door in the fourth set en route to a 25-23, 25-19, 18-25, 25-18 triumph at Worcester North. Wayland will play top-seeded Agawam in the state final Thursday at Shrewsbury High (6:30 p.m.). Junior standout Finn Bell powered the Warriors with 27 kills and five digs, and seniors Cooper Szeremeta (8 kills, 3 digs) and Liam Frenzel (22 digs, 1 ace) also provided key supporting efforts. 'We came into it knowing [Westfield] had the heart and the firepower from last year,' Frenzel said. 'Knowing we won the first two sets last year too, but then they came back, we knew that we had to just put the pedal out to the floor.' A key sequence came in the opening set, after Westfield racked up straight points to take a 23-19 lead before Wayland won six straight points on the serve of sophomore Mason Lee to close out the frame. Despite stumbling in the third set, Wayland returned with energy in the fourth and received key blocks from both freshman Alex Pearlman and junior Max Walsh to regain momentum. 'We luckily get to play a really tough schedule throughout the season, and I think that really helps prepare us,' George said. 'We get used to getting hit in the face and coming right back out and getting after it.' Advertisement Alexa Podalsky also reported from Concord-Carlisle. Alexa Podalsky can be reached at
