Jordan Peebles isn’t putting away his sneakers anytime soon.
The former Virginia Union University hoops star has been selected to play in the HBCU All-Star Game Sunday,April 3, in New Orleans. CBS will televise the game at 4 p.m. as part of the NCAA Final Four activities.
The 6-foot-7, All-CIAA forward from Emporia will suit up for Team “Big House” Gaines (CIAA and SWAC athletes) against Team John McLendon (SIAC and MEAC athletes).
In four seasons under Coach Jay Butler, Peebles scored 827 points, grabbed 489 rebounds and was always a crowd favorite
with his signature alley-oop dunks.
Peebles has split training of late between the hardcourt and
the track. He recently won the triple jump at the University of Richmond Fred Hardy Invitational.
