San Jacinto College Men’s Basketball 2013-2014
Players find success after San Jacinto College
The names Sam Cassell and Steve Francis are often synonymous with San Jacinto College men’s basketball. However, the extent
of successful players reaches well beyond. The list of former San Jac players includes, but is certainly not limited to, Ollie Taylor,
a first-team All-American in 1968 before transferring to University of Houston; Tom Henderson, a two-time All-American who
was the leading scorer of the U.S. Olympic basketball squad that lost a controversial game to Russia in the 1972 Munich Games
(he was also an All-American at the University of Hawai‘i); Ray Williams a first-team All-American that went on to play for the
University of Minnesota (he was also #10 pick in 1977 NBA draft and played 10 years in the NBA); Ladell Eackles, a first-team AllAmerican that was the 1986 national tournament most valuable player (he went on to play at the University of New Orleans);
Boo Harvey, a first-team All-American that led San Jac to a national title; and Omar Sneed, an NJCAA player of the year and firstteam All-American. Some other notable players include:
Steve Francis (1996-97)
Nicknamed Stevie Franchise,”
Francis played five seasons in
Houston during the early part
of his career, and later again
signed with the Houston
Rockets as a free agent. He
also spent time with the
Orlando Magic, New York
Knicks and Memphis Grizzlies
during his 10+ years in the
NBA. As a member of the San
Jac men’s basketball team
from 1996 to 1997, Francis helped SJC reach the national
title game, averaging 12.5 and 7.5 rebounds per game. He
guided a talented San Jac team to 36 straight wins before
a loss in the National Junior College Athletic Association
(NJCAA) national tournament. Francis went on to play for the
University of Maryland.
Walter Berry (1983-84)
Berry left his mark on the San
Jac men’s basketball program
when he guided San Jac to
a 35-2 overall record and a
national championship during
the 1983-84 season. He was a
first-team All-American during
that championship season and
was named the most valuable
player at the NJCAA national
tournament. That season he
set a school record for blocked
shots in a game with 13 against Western Texas, and is second
on the all-time scoring list behind Ollie Taylor. Berry went on to
play for St. John’s University where he was the college player of
the year, earning the John Wooden Award. He was a first round
draft pick of the Portland Trailblazers.
Sam Cassell (1989-91)
Cassell enjoyed a fine career
in the National Basketball
Association, and most
recently, in 2008, he added
another NBA championship
to his résumé in what would
prove to be his final season
as a NBA player. Cassell was
with San Jac for two seasons
(1990-1992) and averaged
23.4 points, 7.6 assists and 5.1
rebounds a contest during
an All-American sophomore season. After playing the 199293 season with Florida State, Cassell was a first-round pick of
the Houston Rockets in 1993, where he helped the team win
back-to-back NBA world championships (1993-1994 and 19941995). In 17 seasons in the NBA, Cassell scored 15,635 points;
grabbed 3,221 rebounds; and dished out 5,939 assists.
Ollie Mack (1975-77)
Mack led San Jacinto College
to the national tournament
in 1976 and 1977, where it
advanced to the quarterfinals
and finished as the national
runner up, respectively. He
was a two-time NJCAA alltournament team honoree,
and was the 1976 NJCAA
national tournament most
valuable player (scored a
combined 110 points in the
tournament that year). Mack
was a first-team All-American in 1977 before playing for East
Carolina University. He played professionally for the Dallas
Mavericks, Chicago Bulls, and Los Angeles Lakers.

About San Jacinto College Central Campus
San Jacinto College Central Campus
8060 Spencer Hwy., Pasadena, TX 77505
281-998-6150
Surrounded by the monuments of history, the industries and
maritime enterprises of today, and the space age of tomorrow,
San Jacinto College has been serving the citizens of East Harris
County, Texas, since 1961. The Achieving the Dream Leader
College is committed to the goals and aspirations of a diverse
population of 30,000 credit students in more than 200 degree
and certificate options, including university transfer and career
preparation. Students also benefit from the College’s job
training programs, renowned for meeting the needs of growing
industries in the region. The College’s service area includes the
Channelview, Deer Park, Galena Park, La Porte, Pasadena and
Sheldon Independent School Districts, as well as portions of the
Humble, Pearl- and, and Clear Creek school districts.
San Jacinto College’s roots date back to May of 1960 when
voters in the district approved the creation of East Harris
County Union Junior College and a seven-member Board of
Regents was established. The name was changed a few times
over its history to its current San Jacinto Community College
District, although it has always been informally referred to
as San Jacinto College. In September of 1961, 876 students
attended the College at its location in Pasadena. Since then,
the College has grown to include three campuses and 12
extension centers; a continuing and professional development
division for continuing education and workforce training;
distance learning; a dual credit program with local high
schools, early college high schools in cooperation with Clear
Creek ISD, Pasadena ISD, and Sheldon ISD; and an enrollment
of more than 30,000 credit students each semester.
San Jacinto College is committed to the citizens of East
Harris County. At the core of our values is student success...
the reason for our being. Our comprehensive community
college mission is to empower students who come with a
wide variety of goals to find the assistance they need at their
college, San Jacinto College.
We have made a strong commitment to academic excellence,
and our award-winning faculty members are passionate about
teaching. Our students choose from more than 200 degree
and certificate programs in many different fields including
academic transfer programs to four-year institutions and a
wide variety of workforce training programs.
The College has placed an emphasis on upgrading facilities and
technology to support student learning. Over the last decade, San
Jacinto College has added new buildings to support teaching and
learning in the sciences, fine arts, and technology fields.
In September 2008, San Jacinto College faced unprecedented
challenges in the wake of Hurricane Ike. The College sustained
significant damage, and as a result, was closed for two and a
half weeks following the storm. The instructional leaders and
faculty diligently worked on a plan to complete all course
Anders Gymnasium
learning outcomes through in-class instruction, out-of-class
assignments, and incorporating technology into learning to
allow students to successfully complete the semester without
extending the term. The College plan was highly applauded
by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS)
accreditation site visit team in November of 2008, when it
granted the College reaccreditation.
In 2011, San Jacinto College was recognized as a leader in the
national student completion movement when it was named an
Achieving the Dream Leader College. Throughout the course
of its participation in Achieving the Dream, San Jacinto College
increased Fall-to-Spring persistence through a combination
of interventions including the First Year Experience Calling
Program, Mandatory New Student Orientation, a student
success course, free tutoring, and the Men of Honor program.
San Jacinto College continues to lead in the Gulf Coast
through grant-funded partnerships and collaboration with
other colleges and organizations. The funds support student
success through academic programs and initiatives promoting
college retention and completion, regional workforce training,
scholarships and tuition of various student programs, and
creates pathways to higher education and to the workforce for
middle and high school students.
Students and employees come to San Jacinto College with
various goals and aspirations, and we remain committed to
their success.

Your Goals. Your College.
