Today, ICS Athletics is proud to announce that after an exhaustive search and several interviews, Jajuan Williams will be the next Varsity Men's Basketball Head Coach.
Coach Williams, a Jacksonville, North Carolina native, began his playing career at Brunswick Community College and Jefferson Community College. During that time he was the starting point guard for both programs, leading Jefferson CC to their first playoff berth in 8 seasons while earning NJCAA All-Conference honors. He would finish the last two years of his playing career at the, then NAIA, SUNY Canton State College of New York. There, he was a pivotal piece of a team transitioning from a 2-year college to a 4-year NAIA program. He rounded out his playing career by playing 2 seasons with Vechy in the Chinese Basketball Association.
Beginning in 2021, Coach Williams opened Blue-Chips Skills and Training Academy. Since that time the Academy has grown to include multiple age groups including a National Team that participates on the Puma NXTPRO Basketball Circuit.
Referring to Coach Williams, Athletic Director Larry McCollum said, "He is a dedicated husband, father, and member at Purposeful Life Fellowship. He has committed his life to the development of young men, raising them to be the strong and disciplined men the Lord has called them to be. The future of ICS Basketball is bright, and I pray that you have confidence in the direction of the program."
When asked what he hopes to accomplish in his role here at ICS, Coach Williams said, "I would like to [build] young men into great men, showing faith and living in the word of our Lord. On the court I would like to build a tough competitive team who plays hard and leaves the floor every night with no regrets. It is my goal to put Athletes in position to further their careers at the next level with hard work, sacrifice, and dedication while building a tradition of winning through adversity, earning respect as one of the top teams in El Paso County."
