Coaches vs. Cancer

The Sun Belt Conference has shown its support for App State women’s basketball head coach Angel Elderkin and her fight with endometrial cancer.

During the month of February, each member of the Sun Belt will participate in the 2017 3-Point Challenge through Coaches vs. Cancer. For every 3-pointer made, the schools will donate to the American Cancer Society. At the end of the month, a Sun Belt champion will be announced as well as entered into a national competition.

“The last few months have been extremely challenging, but with every challenge is an opportunity,” Elderkin said in a teleconference when the challenge was announced.
