HARDING BASKETBALL COACH IS ALSO COACHING FOOTBALL

        CHARLOTTE—The Charlotte Observer has reported that Harding men’s basketball coach will also be serving as the interim coach of the football team this year.

        Aikens has been named coach to replace Devron Harper, a former Carolina Panther player who stepped away from the head position to complete requirements to become a certified teacher. Harper will remain as an assistant coach after serving as head coach for the past two years.

        Aikens has coached the Harding basketball team for the previous 10 years and the team qualified for the Western Regionals last year.
