DANNTON JACKSON
HEAD MEN'S BASKETBALL COACH
XAVIER UNIVERSITY OF LOUISIANA 
NEW ORLEANS — Dannton Jackson, men's basketball head coach at Xavier University of Louisiana, will be the featured speaker Wednesday (Sept. 17) at the weekly Life Resources Bottom Line Luncheon.
     
The luncheon will start at noon at Piccadilly Cafeteria, 2222 South Clearview Parkway in suburban Metairie, La. Luncheon organizer Ken Trahan said Jackson will deliver an inspirational message based on John 15.
     
It will be the second public appearance in five days for Jackson. On Saturday he spoke about transition offense at the Pelican Coaches Clinic in Metairie. The Louisiana High School Basketball Coaches Association sponsored that event.
     
Jackson, in his 12th season as coach of the Gold Rush, is 249-107 and set a school record last season for career victories. He was Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Coach of the Year each of the past three seasons. His Xavier teams won five GCAC regular-season championships, including the last three, and qualified for the Buffalo Funds-NAIA Division I National Championship eight of the past 10 seasons.

The Life Resources Bottom Line Luncheon is open to the public. For more information, contact Trahan at (504) 621-0120 or Barry Haindel at (504) 450-8198.
