DANA BROUGHTON


Good things come to those who wait...especially if they also work hard.

The Lafayette career of Dana Broughton exemplifies this adage.

Like his classmate, Clark Nolan, Dana chose to play his college ball close to home. In nine minutes per game, he was productive enough to earn a spot on the All-Freshman Team in 2010/11.

Then, his career seemed to take the same turn as those of several of the players who found their court time taken by players Graham Sims recruited. He barely played as a sophomore, but he never lost his shooting touch...especially from long range.

Dana shot himself back into Coach Sims' rotation as a junior. Then, midway through his senior season, I decided to see how he would fare as a starter. Would switching him with Alvaro Kinard invigorate both players?

The answer turned out to be "yes." Dana started 21 games, including all our conference games. His average of 1.50 points per shot was the best on the team (0.01 better than Kinard's mark). He gave us a third long-range threat that stretched opposing defenses, creating room for James Sanders to work his magic in the post. Big Colonel became the Player of the Year.

And Dana Broughton became a Second Team All-Conference selection.

Thanks for the memories, Dana.
