Happy Appy State

In the 2015-16 season, the Appalachian State Mountaineers basketball program finished 10th of a possible 11th place in the Sun Belt conference, while they continue to adjust by going from a Div II program to a Div I. However, with the success of the football program, the AD was disappointed in how the basketball program handled themselves, and fired head coach Jim Fox.

Appalachian State will try to raise their basketball program and give it just as much prestige as the football team has up in Boone, North Carolina!

You may now post!! I know a lot of people aren't familiar with Appalachian State, especially when it comes to basketball, but hopefully I can jar a lot of interest for the school using this booker, as I feel their football program will be just fine, but their basketball team needs some work.

Enjoy if you'd like to read! Going to try to get my first team booking to work for the first time in a while.
