As a result of his talent and hard work, he played professional basketball as a member of the Washington Generals, New York Nationals, and the Harlem Globetrotters.  He later played in the American Basketball Association for the American Bulldogs, a Kentucky Semi-Professional team for the 2006-2007 season. 

Nancy Ketchum

Ketchum is the first MACC staff member to be inducted into the Greyhound Hall of Fame.  She served as Greyhound Athletics Advisor, 1996-2005.  She founded the student athletics success program as the advisor, tutor, and mentor to MACC student-athletes.

Gary Steffes

Steffes was a staple of Greyhound Athletics for over 35 years as a fan, supporter, booster, “Music Man”, administrator, and bus driver Greyhound Women’s Team to their national tournament appearance in 2018.  As the Chief Financial Officer, Gary was responsible for ensuring the teams had proper financial support and funding to survive and thrive.  As a fan, he missed very few games and traveled to places far and wide with the Greyhounds, wearing the hat of an administrator if a problem arose.  His solid leadership skills offered constant support to coaches and other administrative staff through the years.  He understood and promoted the importance of Greyhound basketball to the community. Steffes also spearheaded the comeback of the Greyhound mascot and came up with the clever name of “MaJiC” as a nod to both the Magic City of Moberly and the college’s name of Moberly Junior College.
