A message from President Jim Henderson:
I just informed our campus community of my intention to retire at the end of the calendar year.
Serving as Louisiana Tech's 15th president has been the joy of my career. Returning to a college campus and engaging with faculty, staff, and students was exactly as I predicted — energizing and indescribably rewarding. What I could never have predicted was the warmth Tonia and I received not only from each of you but from the Ruston community at large and the broader Tech Family.
In the coming weeks there will be opportunities for conversations and proper goodbyes. Today, I want to affirm to you that this university, an institution with a sterling reputation and one steeped in history, is made better by the Tech family. You have enriched my life immeasurably. For that, I am grateful.
Ever Loyal,
Jim

Per court filings, here's the very latest on #LATech vs CUSA:
- CUSA wants the court to compel arbitration with Tech, halting the lawsuit
- Tech has until April 8 to file opposition to CUSA's motion. Presumably, Judge Terry A. Doughty will provide a written ruling after April 8.

What a game. Hope we get to see a rematch next year. We saw an all-time performance from Ahmad Hudson but the Bearcats come up short in the state final.

(FINAL: Lincoln Prep 69, Southern Lab 42)
The Panthers win their first state championship since 1992. Led wire to wire. What a moment for a program that faced so much heartache.

"This is one of the best defensive teams I've coached."
Lincoln Prep is one win away from a state title, and it's thanks to the Panthers' commitment to their defense-first approach.
