Gernander Head Coach Fourth Season Sam Houston State University (2006; M.A. 2008) Overall: 75-20 In 2012-2013, Gernander guided San Jacinto College to a 24-6 record and the semifinals of the Region XIV tournament. Under his tutelege, Mohammad Lee was named a National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) all-American and all-Region player, while Danny Lawhorn and Zach Lofton were also named to the all-Region squad. The 2012-2013 San Jac team averaged nearly 91 points per game, and won the Region XIV South Zone, finishing with a 14-5 conference record. As a graduate assistant at Sam Houston State from 2005-2008, Gernander coached on teams that recorded a combined 66-27 record, and had three 20-win seasons in the Southland Conference. After spending a season as a graduate assistant coach at his alma mater, Sam Houston State University, Scott R. Gernander returned to San Jacinto College in 2008 to the school where his collegiate playing days began to serve as an assistant coach under his legendary father. After serving the 2012-2013 season as Interim Head Coach, the younger Gernander was promoted to the top spot in the Summer of 2013. The saying, “third time’s a charm” proved to be true for Gernander, as he guided his 20142015 team back to the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) national tournament in just his third season as head coach. The return trip was the first for San Jacinto College since 2006, and the 20th overall appearance in the national tournament. San Jac opened the 2014-2105 season winning six straight before hitting a snag in a trip to Florida. It then won 11 out of the next 12 games before falling to Tyler in the Region XIV tournament. However, the NJCAA selection committee recognized the team’s success, and awarded them one of four at-large bids to the national tournament. Four players averaged double-digit points for the year, and five grabbed postseason honors. Willie Mangum was an all-region first-teamer, and Donte Thomas a second-teamer. All-South Zone honorable mention selections included Jevonlean Jedgeman, Naiel Smith, and Michael Hunter. Gernander was the Region XIV Coach of the Year with a 28-6 overall record. In his second season at the helm of the San Jac program, Gernander’s team went 23-8 overall record, and was the number three seed in the regional tournament. Anthony Livingston, Carrington Ward, and Richard Benedyth all earned postseason honors. Livingston was named to the Region XIV South Zone all-conference team and was an all-region selection, while Ward and Benedyth were named to the all-conference South Zone second team, with Ward taking home all-region honorable mention honors. The 2013-2014 squad averaged 87.3 points and 44.6 rebounds per game, finishing with a 14-5 conference mark. The 31-year-old Gernander played as a guard at Sam Houston State University from 2003 to 2005, where 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 a combined 57-12, won two conference titles, and were national junior college runners-up. He averaged 8.1 points per game while at San Jacinto College. Before playing at San Jac for his father, Gernander was a first team alldistrict 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 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.

He joined San Jac from Paris Junior College, where he served as assistant men’s basketball coach, following his time in the same position 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.

However, the extent of successful players reaches well beyond. The list of former San Jac players includes, but is certainly not limited to, 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); Ray Williams a first-team All-American that went on to play for the University of Minnesota (he was also #10 pick in 1977 NBA draft and played 10 years in the NBA); Ladell Eackles, a first-team AllAmerican that was the 1986 national tournament most valuable player (he went on to play at the University of New Orleans); Boo Harvey, a first-team All-American that led San Jac to a national title; and Omar Sneed, an NJCAA player of the year and firstteam All-American. 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. 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 AllAmerican 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. 12 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.
