BATON ROUGE, Louisiana - As a player at Captain Shreve High School and Northwestern State University, Roman Banks was a self-made man.
"He was always a guy that prepared himself for opportunities," Evangel coach Reni Mason, Banks' high school teammate, said. "He worked extremely hard to make himself into the type of player he was. He turns every stone to be successful."
Twenty-four games into his head coaching career, Banks is seeing the same type of attitude from his first Southern team. Entering today's game against Arkansas-Pine Bluff, the Jaguars (13-11, 9-2) are entrenched in second place in the Southwestern Athletic Conference and have more than tripled last season's four-win total.
"Everybody is surprised at where we are as a team," Banks said. "I'll be the first to say that I am, but I will say this, I have a lot of confidence in those guys. They're not the great, talented guys, but they're the group of guys that want to achieve something."
