....Donivine Stewart - SIUE...

I believe Donivine Stewart has chosen to leave the SIUE basketball team - he graduated this spring and there's been a lot of other changes in his life & with the team - changing coaches...

He was listed just a couple weeks back
But, he is no longer listed on the 2015-16 roster

[Da Coach]

Yes, I can confirm that he has left SIUE after their recent coaching change.
He got married a few weeks and and is not returning to school.

MHSAA is making old vidoes (film) available...
the 1958 state championship game between Chet Walker's Benton Harbor vs. Dave DeBusschere's Detroit Austin

Dave Snell once said he had never seen any film of Chet in college - that none existed-
but how about some of Chet in high school??
This article says who to contact to get the film...
