Scott Garcia, head coach of the GlenOak Golden Eagles spoke with Brad Russell about the team's matchup against the Jackson Polar Bears in Week 6.

Former GlenOak Golden Eagle, Lehigh, and Portland Trail Blazers guard C.J. McCollum joined the Sam Bourquin Show Thursday afternoon to talk about his award, the hard work he put into his game,  the Finals, and the basketball camp he's putting on this summer.

When asked how he felt about receving the Most Improved Award, C.J. said it was a tremendous boost for himself personally, knowing he could contribute more to his team.

"It felt really good," he said. "I felt like I had been through a lot early in my career with the setbacks and the injuries and being in and out of the rotation to being a set part of the rotation and getting to the second round of the playoffs." 

McCollum will also be holding his basketball camp this summer for the 2nd year in Ohio June 17-19 at Walsh University in North Canton for boys and girls in grades 4-12. For more information, click here.

He said in reference to the NBA Finals later tonight between the Cavs and Warriors, he expects a high-scoring matchup, and a great individual matchup between Steph Curry and LeBron James.

After coaching the boys' basketball team at St. Thomas Aquinas the past few seasons, Matt Hackenberg has decided to take a new challenge with the GlenOak Golden Eagles. 

Matt Hackenberg joined Sam Bourquin on Wednesday afternoon to talk about the Federal League, the jump to Division I, and the new move he made in his career.

"I'm really excited about the Federal League, it's something that certainly jumped out to me, the chance to compete against great coaches, great players, great programs," he said.

"I want to see how we stack up, and I want to build something that can get to the level of some of those top programs with a little bit of time and effort."

Matt said he enjoyed his time at St. Thomas and he appreciates the support he had from that community, but he felt it was time for a change, and he's looking to put his imprint on the GlenOak basketball team and the school and community as as a whole.

 "This was a big picture type of move and I want to see how I can build this program," he said
