The life of a club sports baller

Playing collegiate sports is a tough task for many high school students heading into college, but talent should never be wasted.

Jayvon “Jay” Ecton, a senior majoring in public relations from Durham, North Carolina, can do nothing but look back on all the good memories he’s had while on the East Carolina University Club Basketball team and where it all started.

Being a 5-foot-11-inch, 147-pound guard, Ecton was a little undersized for the school team, yet he still made his attempt. Although he did not make the ECU Pirates basketball team, he was given the opportunity to further play basketball by joining the club team at ECU.
