Absolutely heart broken after hearing the news this afternoon. Just talked to Darian yesterday morning. Gave me some encouraging words and couldn’t stop talking about how excited he was to be joining our family next year. Please keep the Keyser family in your prayers #RIPDarian
Please keep Darian Keyser, his family, and the Jamestown community in your prayers. Head basketball coach Lucas Widger said that Keyser passed away in his sleep last night. Just devastating news and a life gone way too soon. #RIPDarian

10 years ago I moved into @GenevaCollege as a student athlete to play hoops for coach. Yesterday I left with so many incredible memories, friends, and family. Incredibly grateful for everything my @GenevaAthletics family has given to me over the years 🌪🌪🌪
Today was my last day with my guy Zack Stitt. He is off to Cornell University to be an assistant coach for the women’s program. His impact on this program is beyond words. I wish him nothing but the best. Tireless worker,great recruiter, X and O guy. Will miss you my friend🌪🏀

I’m so proud of this kid and all the hard work he’s put in over his career. I’ll never forget talking with @JeffSantarsiero about Lyle’s potential and how special he could end up being. He was all of it and more and having a ton of success now with @GANNON_MBB!
Congrats to Gannon guard/forward Lyle Tipton, who has scored his 2,000th career collegiate point.
Tipton scored 1,758 points at Geneva and has 242 points this season with Gannon. He has 21 points today vs. Clarion.

On this day (Sept 7) in 2013, Geneva defeated Frostburg St. 47-3 to open its season. Zack Hayward, a year after throwing for a school record 535 yds & 7 TDs in a narrow loss to Frostburg, helped Geneva get revenge by throwing for 266 yards and 2 TDs in the win. @Geneva_Football
