Joe Edwards
199697 AllAmericanThe oldest o six in his hometown o Unice Louisiana Joe Edwards was a young
man with considerable potential on the court tempered by mounting responsibili
ties at home However ate intervened to bring Joe to Lee College While Coach Roy
Champaigne was in Louisiana to recruit another player an assistant coach spotted
Joe regularly putting 3 points per game on the board in high school play Coach
Roy had a tough time convincing Edwardss mother to let him leave home to play
basketball in Baytown Texas but was eventually successul in his recruiting eort
Ater seeing Edwardss potential to become a truly great player Joe was redshirted
his rst year by the Lee coaching sta Even though he only played or a total o 13
minutes on the court his reshman season he managed to post 10 points during
that short court time Known or his extreme endurance on the court his sopho
more year at Lee saw the hard work and talent nally coming to bear or the Runnin
Rebels as Edwards averaged 65 points per game and posted 0+ points per game
in 0 out o conerence games that season capping o his Lee College career as
Lee Colleges rst AllAmerican player
Patrick Okafor
199900 AllAmericanIn the history o great Lee College basketball players many were endowed with
tremendous natural talent Such was the case o Patrick Okaor but it was his ability
to learn and in a systematic way apply newly ound knowledge and understanding
that made him stand apart leading to his appointment to the 9900 All American
team
Okaor took a undamental approach to basketball observing other players study
ing the game itsel and tweaking what he saw worked or others with his own spe
cial style His systematic approach to the game even caused him to keep a record
o how oten he went to the ree throw line
During his time at Lee College Patrick was able to develop a playing style describedas chin basketball in which the ball is kept high when handling orbidding oppo
nents access to interere with handling or shooting This made him one o the best
post players in Lee College History and allowed him to go on to a successul career
with the University o Houston
Mike White
200506 AllAmericanI there is a great story about coming to Lee College a good man and leaving an
even better one then Mike Whites story is it Mike came to Lee rom Northwest
Louisiana rom under the shadow o his allconerence older brother In the beginning he was a reserved player who did not socialize or spend much time talking
with his teammates Ater a month on the team Mike even entertained the idea o
quitting but decided to stick with it
The results speak or themselves: White rst hit the court with the Running rebels
carrying 88lb on his 6 4 rame with 198% body at Through hard work dedica
tion to a goal and perseverance he stepped o the court as a Running rebel or
the last time at 38lb with 85% body at His inner competitive spirit had become
obvious to all and his introversion was replaced with an aggressive style who drew
300 ouls his reshman year as a post player
Such development was obvious to Indiana University recruiters who picked him up
to play or them ater his time at Lee College was done

Andre Joseph 200002Houston native Andre Joseph was rst introduced to Lee College basketball as a high school
player in the High School Classic Tournament at Lee College his sophomore year Ater a year
with Steven F Austin University Andre landed at Lee College as part o arguably the best class
o Runnin Rebels one o two in the top 100 in the conerence Andre made his contribution to
the team as an oensive powerhouse Ater an o night o 19 points per game he could be
ound shooting on his own the next morning
Andres initiative to learn oense and tenacity to stick with his development allowed him to
be a pivotal part o the 39 record team his sophomore year His perormance did not end
there carrying him on to play or Oregon in the Pac 10 a personal dream where he was
named Pac 10 newcomer o the year and played alongside two uture NBA players all the way
to the Elite Eight
Ricky Huckaby 200104Leaving his hometown o Mexia Tx Ricky initially signed with the University o Houston but
decided that Lee College would be the place to hone his shooting skills and personal develop
ment Arriving in Baytown coaches and ans soon realized that what Ricky lacked In shooting
skill he made up or with his unbelievably ast ball handling and determinatinon to improve
Ater red shirting his second year due to a broken wrist Ricky returned to with vengeance
to improve himsel as a Runnin Rebel He stayed beore and ater regular team practices to
improve his individual skills listened intently to coaches without complaining and soon ound
himsel at the center o one o Lee Colleges alltime greatest teams That year 00304 Ricky
and the team pulled out a 39 record with 11 straight conerence wins
Ater his time with Lee College Huckaby went on to play Division II ball with Texas A&M Com
merce and proessionally overseas
Dominique Keller 200608A legend rom the Golden Triangle Port Arthur native Dominique Keller turned down attrac
tive oers rom other colleges in order to grow and mature at Lee College Lee has a history as
a place where just about anyone can nd a home to develop as an individual and Dominique
took advantage o the ertile grounds at Lee
As part o his development coaches prompted Keller to play dierent positions learning the
nuances o each position He took advantage o these opportunities to become the second
leading scorer in the conerence and in the country
But basketball is not all about knowledge it is a game o willpower to keep going and pushing
harder Dominique played hard reusing to give up taking pride not only in his school but a
personal pride in his individual perormance
Hollis Giles 200608The story o Houston native is not one o an immediate rise to prominence on the court rather
it is a meandering story o determination which pays o with eventual success In the 0405season Giles originally was not able to make the team despite trying out In 005 Giles ap
proached Coach Champaigne with a burning desire to be a part o the team even i it was not
on the court playing Seeing the rare but valuable qualities o resilience and oldashioned
grit Champaigne gave him a spot on the team as a manager/camera man
The story could have ended there but it was just the beginning o Hollis legacy at Lee Col
lege He applied his work ethic to his position as manager/camera man and used that time to
develop a maturity and understanding o the game that would benet him greatly when he
nally secured a players spot on the team in 006 From then until his nal days on the court
or lee in 008 Giles became a leading scorer or Lee and the second leading scorer in the
conerence league

Roy Champagne Head Coach
Philosophy
I believe in the dignity and selworth o every individual Extra
curricular activities open an opportunity to ensure high selesteem
and selworth My philosophy centers around teaching lie skills
through coaching to every individual
My most important attribute as a coach is my ability to com
municate The quality o what I get across to my players is directly
related to the quality o my communication What I would hope to
instill in my players is a constant desire to be successul Obviously
we all have dierent dreams and ideas o what we want to create or
our lives In addition Im very clear that who you know where you
go and what you own are not the true measure o personal success
To me success is the ongoing process o striving to become more It
is the opportunity to continually grow emotionally socially spiritu
ally physiologically intellectually and nancially while contributing
in some positive way to others The Success Road is always under
construction Is it a progressive course not an end to be reached
Success is simply preparation coming ace to ace with opportunity
It is very important that I be organized People will respond in
a more positive manner when they are challenged It is my job to
know the strengths and weaknesses o my players and program Un
derstanding this I will never ask a player to attempt something he is
not capable o doing I believe a coach should lead by example Thus
striving to maintain the highest standards belies integritylooking
ater the smallest detail sticking to the basics going the extra mile
Competition places an unbelievable amount o pressure on
young athletes It is vital that a coach help his players understand
that without error there would be no competitive sports I believe
that a prime ingredient in the making o a champion is this conquer
ing o the ear o making a mistake This is accomplished by believing
in FEF; have FUN be ENTHUSIASTIC and stick to the FUNDAMEN
TALS
No great task was ever accomplished without the discipline
to work hard Success is not something that is inherited rather it is
gained the old ashion way It must be earned Through it all one
must realize that there is no substitute or hard work

Have I Made A Diference?
When I look back at my career, my denition o suc-
cess will be, did I make a diference? Did I make a
diference on this campus? Did I make a diference
in peoples lives? Are my players better of now than
they were when they arrived? Have I prepared them
or lie? I I can answer yes to those questions, and i
Ive accomplished those goals, then Ive had success.
