his team to the State Playoffs. While in high
school, Conley scored 1,000 points and was a
three time All-Conference Player.

Conley has made big strides this season and re
ally stepped up to a vital role in the team's success.
Last year he averaged 1 Ippg, but this year he has re
corded 116 points with 19.3ppg. During the contest
with Westminster, Conley recorded a game high of
24 points. He also leads the team in rebounds with
39, the 6'9" center has the potential to be one of the
best in Behrend history.
"It was all off-season work that got me to where
I needed to be," said Conley. "I know for me, lifting
and shooting was an everyday thing. Going to Brazil
with the team let us play together before the season
started and we knew we had the potential to be re
ally good. We enjoy our success but we aren't going
to let up."
With the best start to a season in nearly seven
years, the Lions have the ability to dominate the con
ference. After winning the ECACs last year, the team
has all of the potential to go far and continue this
winning streak. It is hard to pinpoint the success to
one player. For the team as a whole has worked hard
to put up points and make big plays when necessary.

"During the game I thought
there was some kind of magic
in the air," said Senior Brett
Brackett. "I thought we were
going to pull it off the whole
time. There was disappoint

off. At the end with a game
so close, one play could have
made the big difference."

Basketball is not the only thing Conley does
here at Behrend. Conley is a history major
and hopes to use this education in the future.
The fact of the matter is that Conley is con

the court.
