Jeremy Broyles wasn't a top-flight basketball prospect when he entered his freshman year at Conner High School.


With hard work, he developed into a college basketball player. Broyles, a 2009 Conner graduate, cemented his college career by signing with Kentucky Christian University July 7.

Broyles said KCU was a great fit because of the school atmosphere and head coach Corey Mullins.

"He cared a lot about me not just as a basketball player, but a person," Broyles said. "He's an awesome guy, and the college is a Christian college and that also meant a lot to me."

Broyles was a key member of the senior class for the Cougars last year.

"Jeremy is one of the hardest working players to come through Conner," Conner head coach Jim Hicks said. "He is definitely the most improved player from his freshman year. As a freshman he was a bench player. As a senior he was a starter and a leader."
