🎙️ All New Episode of Mountaineer Talk
🟡 And much more

In the latest episode of the Mountaineer Talk on the Nothin’ But An App State Podcast, the basketball squads are coming down the stretch in Sun Belt play and Coach Sharp and Coach Kerns talk about their teams and the final weeks of the regular season.

Elena Pericic and Eren Banks stop by to join the show and talk about their seasons with the Mountaineers.

🔼 Chart Makers. Two Mountaineers programs are surging and folks around the country are taking notice.

Off to the program’s best start ever, the App State Softball team is 8-1 and moved into the D1 Softball Mid-Major poll this week at #24. Makayla McClain is off to a torrid start at the plate, ranking in the top-15 in the country in home runs (6th) and RBIs (13th).

Sitting atop the Sun Belt standings with two weeks left, the App State men’s basketball team earned a spot at #25 in the College Insider Mid-Major Poll. The Mountaineers have won eight of their past 10 entering their final two regular season home games this week.

🔼 On The Mic. The preparation for next fall is well underway for the App State Football team and this week, sophomore defensive back Juan Berchal took us inside the Mountaineers’ workout with the latest edition of Mic’d Up.

🔼 Brunch & Basketball. With only four games left on the regular season slate, every time on the court is critical for the App State women’s hoops squad.

This morning, the Mountaineers are back on the road for a little brunch and basketball with Coastal Carolina. App State is just one game back of the Chanticleers in the league standings heading into the midweek matchup.

Tip time in Conway is set for 11 a.m.

Throughout the month of February, our Mountaineer student-athletes share their reflections and thoughts on what Black History Month means to them.

Atlanta native and App State Men's Basketball guard Kasen Jennings reflects on what Black History Month means to him and shares a message to the younger generation.

Entering the final two weeks of the regular season, the App State women’s hoops team currently leads the Sun Belt in scoring defense.
