Posted by ONEFIRE Development on | Comments Off on Snappers Softball Season Preview
Head Softball Coach John Basset at Spoon River College is looking forward to a great 2021 spring season for the Snapper softball team. “We finished the Covid-19 shortened 2020 spring season on a 13-game winning streak and a 17-3 overall record.”
The Snappers will be led by ten returning sophomores. Noelle Hobbs (Washington, IL) finished last season batting .534 with an incredible 1.509 slugging percentage. Giulia Cianfriglia (Verona, Italy) hit 7 home runs in the shortened season and also had a robust 1.380 slugging percentage. Rayna Davis (Humble, TX), Jayden Montana (Regina, SK, Canada), Kira Brown (Springfield, IL), Addy Williams (Cuba, IL), Daisy Bejarano (Baytown, TX), and Paige Collopy (Knoxville, IL) all hit over .400 last year.
The Snappers bring in three freshmen pitchers to work alongside sophomore Miranda Fogal (Monticello, IL). Makayla Ellison (Marquette Heights, IL), Sydney Owens (Orleans, IN), and lefty Lauren Smith (Channahon, IL) will all be looked on to contribute immediately.
“Miranda has made tremendous strides since last season, and a big part of that was us coaches adjusting to maximize what she does well. I’m really looking forward to seeing how high her ceiling will be,” said Coach John Bassett
Rounding out this year’s roster is sophomore Miranda Alvarez (Peoria, IL) and freshmen Grace Stufflebeam (Macomb, IL), Allison Mortland (Canton, IL), Sloan Miller (Cuba, IL), Mackenzie Stiewe, (Waterford, WI), and De’Asisa Davenport (Wharton, TX).
“We have a tremendously talented team. I have high expectations for our freshmen pitchers, and we have a really strong offensive and defensive unit returning from last year. Now we get to add a lot of speed with Mortland, defensive prowess with Davenport, strong hitting with Stiewe, and lots of athleticism with Stufflebeam, Miller, and Alvarez,” said Bassett.
“Last year’s team was unique and special. They played for each other and you could feel the competitiveness and passion every day. I feel our team this year is even more talented than last year. I can’t wait to get to work to find out if this year’s group has that same competitive drive that we enjoyed last season. If they do, then this could be a really special team.”
The first game is February 6 at the Iowa Dome Tournament. The complete schedule can be viewed at www.src.edu under the Snappers Athletic tab. Follow the Spoon River College Athletics Facebook page for the most up-to-date information and to watch live streams of games when available.

The Spoon River College Baseball Program goes into the 2021 season entering year two of the Coach John Kurtz era. After a strong start to the 2020 season, the baseball program ended with a 9-7 record including a win over a nationally ranked opponent on their annual trip to Myrtle Beach before the season was cut short due to Covid-19.
The Snappers graduated six players from the 2020 roster that went on to four-year universities to continue their baseball and educational careers. Those players were Brett Johnson, Southern Illinois-Edwardsville University; Kyle Stanford, Texas Permian-Basin University; Connor Wise, Indiana-South Bend University; Garrett Mooney, Northwood University; Clay Schroeder, St. Ambrose University; and Collin Fenili, Pikeville University.
Looking ahead to the 2021 season, the Snappers return several key contributors that will help lead the way this spring. On the mound will be Dean Procarione (Minooka HS) and Brady King (Illinois Valley Central HS) to the rotation, expecting them to continue their hot start from a year ago. At the plate the Snappers will look to Tim Reynolds (St. Mary’s HS) and Cole Franks (Ridgewood HS) to lead the young Snapper lineup.
“I believe we have a great opportunity to keep this program trending in the right direction and surprise a few people along the way,” said head coach John Kurtz.
The first game of the season is February 20 against Highland Community College at Jacksonville, IL. The first home game is scheduled for March 13 against Harper Community College.

Posted by ONEFIRE Development on | Comments Off on Snappers Volleyball Season Preview
Spoon River College Volleyball Coach Makenna Barker says her team is ready and eager to get back out on the court. “New recruits will make the 2020-21 campaign even stronger, and we look forward to seeing how the returning players use their year of experience to guide and shape the freshman team.”
This year’s team includes six strong returning players from the successful 2019 season and four new players.
Leading the Snapper offensive charge this season will be returning 1-2 punch duo, Hannah Burdess and Cassidy Locke. Burdess, a 5’11” six rotation Outside Hitter, led the team in kills and aces last year and also served as team captain. She was named to the All-Region 24 Second Team and was a go-to player all season. “If we needed a point, we found Hannah no matter where she was on the court. She embodies what every coach looks for out of a team captain. I couldn’t ask for anyone better to be a leader of this team,” Barker said.
Locke, a 6′ tall Middle Blocker, was second to Burdess in kills. She also racked up 94 stuff blocks on the season. “Cassidy is a kid that gives you 110% all the time. She doesn’t have any other gear but high. She jumps out of the gym and is just a real physical presence at the net. We will be relying on her heavily for her blocking abilities.”
Jazmine Morris and Emma Manusete are also returning pin hitters that will be relied on heavily for offensive production. Manusete is a powerful attacker with the great ability to communicate well with her teammates, and she is an integral part of our offense. Morris was Burdess’ counterpart on the Outside last year. “She has a more quiet approach to the game but does a great job of finding holes in opposing team’s defenses.”
Anchoring the Snapper defense this year will be returners Gracie Henrikson and Kaitie Van Pelt. Henrikson tied Burdess for the lead in aces last season and was absolutely lights out defensively in the fall. “Gracie has that mentality where she wants every ball to come to her. She does a great job communicating with her teammates on the court and they know that she is always right behind them to make the play. I can’t say enough about how well Gracie has stepped into this libero role and how excited I am to see her compete this season. She is a true competitor.”
“Van Pelt is by far one of my most consistent passers. She is a player that all coaches wish they had because she will play any position asked of her. She even stepped in to hit a few times in the fall due to injury,” said Barker. “Van Pelt’s presence causes her to be one of those players that you don’t ever want to leave your institution. She is such a great teammate with such a fun personality that she makes practices enjoyable. She is such a consistent player and you know that no matter where you put her, she is going to give it her best.”
Last spring, SRC coaching staff added Kaitlyn Geltmacher to the roster. The 2019 graduate of West Prairie High School in Sciota provides the team with an athletic pin hitter who does a nice job of putting the ball away. She has a great vertical and uses different shots to throw off opposing defenses. Snapper fans should be excited to see what she can do in her first season with the team.
The freshman class consists of athletes from Chillicothe, Colchester, and Danville, IL. Jansan Davis, from Chillicothe, will be running the Snapper offense this season. “She has really come into her own in the last couple of months and is now owning the setter position for the Snappers. I’m anxious to see her direct our offense this season” says Barker.
Hailing from Colchester is Kyah Beck, another high flyer who despite her size, puts the ball away with more authority than players of taller stature. Expect to see Beck used as an all-around player and rounding out the strong SRC defense. She will be an instrumental player for the Snappers this season. Rounding out the freshman class is Emma Bogen from Danville, a 6′ tall, left handed Middle Blocker. She will be locking down that position with fellow middle, Cassidy Locke. “Bogan’s left-handedness provides the Snappers with a sneak attack of sorts. She has a heavy arm swing and is incredibly athletic. She will be a big impact player as well.”
“I am thoroughly excited to see this team in action. They not only have great athleticism, but they also have great team chemistry. In volleyball, team chemistry will take you further than individual athleticism any day,” said Barker. “These ten ladies have put in the work during our limited fall season and it is my hope that they are able to come back and have their season to show what they are truly capable of,” Barker said.
The first game of the season is January 21 against Olivet Nazarene University. The first home game is scheduled for February 16 against Triton College.

Posted by ONEFIRE Development on | Comments Off on Snappers Men’s Basketball Season Preview
The Spoon River College men’s basketball team is excited to kick off its inaugural season under the leadership of local area coach Chance Jones. The Snappers are scheduled to open their season on January 22nd at home against Quincy College. The Snappers men’s team played three scrimmage games this fall and have two upcoming scrimmages against South Suburban and Moberly, two top notch programs.
The Snappers have had a solid start to this upcoming season. The men competed very well in their five exhibition games this fall against teams that are typically nationally ranked every year. “The guys have worked very hard through challenging situations with continuously changing safety protocols to remain in shape and improve their game to be as ready as possible for the season,” said Jones.
The Snappers have quite a few freshman but will be looking for some sophomore leadership from those on the team. Micale Mee, TC Wright, Luka Gelb, and DaKei Hines have all played a year of basketball at this level and fans should expect to see them be leaders on the court.
“I believe we also have a strong and talented group of freshman, which has allowed us to have really competitive practices. We have a lot to learn, but I think this team has the potential to be very competitive in our already very competitive league. We are expecting them to pick things up fast, because our non-conference schedule is going to be tough as well. This is a good group of young men that have been really fun to be around and they work extremely hard. We are excited to get the season going,” Jones said.

Posted by ONEFIRE Development on | Comments Off on SRC Nursing Program Receives Accreditation from ACEN
The Spoon River College Nursing Program has been granted its initial accreditation by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN), which is the leading authority for nursing education.
Although Spoon River College’s associate nursing program has offered quality education since 1997, state regulatory bodies are requiring registered nursing programs to become accredited.
“Being accredited ensures quality standards are upheld to produce qualified nurse generalists,” said Tamatha Schleich, director of SRC’s nursing program.
An accredited program must meet certain criteria for faculty qualifications, course content, and program quality, which keeps nursing students educated at the same level regardless of the geographical location of their school. Accreditation also allows nursing students to easier receive federal aid, facilitates easy transfer to another institution for an advanced degree, and opens up additional career opportunities.
“The ACEN accreditation process is a rigorous journey of reflection to look at every part of the curriculum. The achievement shows Spoon River College’s dedication to the program, students, and community we serve,” Schleich said.
The effective date for initial accreditation of the associate degree program at Spoon River College is August 24, 2018, allowing those who graduated after this date to be able to identify the program they graduated from as an ACEN accredited program.
SRC’s Nursing Program underwent the initial site visit by ACEN to achieve this status in January of 2020. SRC’s accreditation status will continue through spring of 2025 when the colleges’ next site visit will occur.
The Spoon River College nursing program was ranked one of the best nursing schools in the nation by RNCareers.org in 2019, and the LPN program was ranked the number one program in Illinois by PracticalNursing.org in 2020 based on NCLEX pass rates. The program offers an Associate Degree in Nursing, a Practical Nurse Certificate, and a Nurse Assistant Certificate. For more information about the nursing program at Spoon River College, visit www.src.edu or call 309-647-4645.
