Blackburn
College in Carlinville has won its second consecutive St. Louis
Intercollegiate Conference Basketball Title.
Originally from Lincoln, Head Coach Austin Kirby and his
brother, senior wing
Bryson Kirby have helped lead Blackburn College to these titles
and an automatic bid to the NCAA Division III Tournament.
On Friday, the team faced the #1 overall seed and defended
national champions, the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. There
is no report yet on the outcome of that game.
In history, brothers have played on the same team, but this may
be the first time there has been a coach/player brother duo.
Pictured is Bryson (center) with family members on senior night.
His brother Austin joins him on the far right.
