After high school, Jared Hammock never thought the opportunity would arise to play college basketball.
Hammock, originally from Melbourne, Fla., played high school basketball at Covenant Christian. As a senior, he led the county in several statistical categories.
But after his high school career, Hammock did not believe he possessed what it took to be a part of head coach Bo Clark’s system at Flagler College.

Growing up in Sweden, Elin Karlsson lived right next to a beautiful golf course.
“My dad used to bring me to that great golf course, and that is where I found out that I really enjoyed playing the game,” Karlsson said.
