Newman basketball’s newest forward Marshawn Blackmon has received the Heartland Conference Player of the Week award twice this season.

Ranked no.10 and no.16 in the nation, Newman’s men’s and women’s bowling teams are ushering in the new year with some hardware.

Billy Murphy, Newman’s head bowling coach, never planned on coaching, much less on forming a program that is now nationally prominent. Sixteen seasons into his coaching career at Newman, life is now throwing another surprise at Murphy: his induction into Newman’s Hall of Fame.

Starting this year, the Jets will officially share the basketball court with a group of students from the Wichita Levy Special Education Center basketball team, known as the Levy League.
