Coach Kuhn is a HOF Coach, so winning follows him no matter where he touches down. But every HOF Coach knows that he/she has to have the players willing to put in the work & effort. Well done Chaps - men & ladies! Keep on flying/running this post-season you birds!
Forever grateful for the opportunity I have been given here at DuPage. I did not do this journey alone, it took an army. Thank you to the Marines for providing such an award and telling my story. ๐ค
This article, and the quotes from the athletes, is SPOT ON and why COD is a great place to be! Any athlete that is considering junior college should visit DuPage, I promise you wonโt regret it and you will be blown away by everything it offers.
I have 3 spots open for BIGSโฆ 6โ7 or taller. Either play above the rim and/or be a strong/wide post up player. We have EVERYTHING in place at DuPage in place to move you on to the next level. Academic Advisors & Tutors. Strength & Conditioning Coaches, World Class Facilities!

Hard fought win as we really struggled shooting the ball. We are learning how to win tight games which is an important trait and necessary come playoff time. After a slow start to the season we are progressing nicely.
