ETSU basketball players express what they are thankful for and food favorites

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (WJHL) — The ETSU men’s basketball team will not be back on the court until Saturday when they host Central Arkansas, coached by former Buccaneer assistant coach John Shulman.

In the meantime, the Bucs will enjoy their favorite foods and reflect on what they are thankful for.

“My team, my coaches. Thank you for everything,” Bucs guard Allen Strothers said.

“Parents, coaches, and the fan base,” forward Brayden Crump said.

And what’s their favorite dish on the table on Thanksgiving?

“I’ll go ham,” Crump said. “And the mac and cheese.”

“I’m going to go with turkey,” Strothers said. “I’m a turkey guy. Turkey and collard greens.”

During Saturday’s game, the Bucs will also honor former ETSU head coach Alan LeForce.
