Remembering the Beloved 

Coach Sechrest Sr. 

Sechrest died at the age of 80 on June 19, after a short battle with 

lung cancer. He worked for the college for 47 years, coaching for 26 

years. After he retired in 2003, he would often be seen in the college’s 

workout center, chatting with all around him and keeping up his fitness 

regime. 

MAC Athletic Director and former basketball coach Tim Gray, who 

worked for a number of years alongside Sechrest, said the coach’s 

easy, friendly nature put everyone at ease. 

“Think about it,” he told the assembled guests at the funeral. “How 

many times did you come away from talking to Coach, and NOT feel 

a little bit better about your day Never.” 

Sechrest was born and raised in Poplar Bluff. A U.S. Army veteran of World War II, he served from 1946-48 in 

the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, N.C. 

He attended Arkansas State College (now University) in Jonesboro, earning his bachelor’s degree in education 

in 1951. He found work in Missouri at Van Buren High School, teaching physical education and coaching football 

and basketball for the Van Buren Bulldogs. 

He came to the Mineral Area in 1956, to take a position at Flat River High School (now Central High School). 

Shortly after signing on, Sechrest discovered, in addition to teaching and coaching football and basketball, he 

was required to teach two physical education classes for Flat River Junior College, which was then housed at 

the high school. Since only 200 students were enrolled in the community college at the time, he said later, it was 

a manageable addition to his workload. 

In 1962, Sechrest earned his master’s degree from Colorado State College in Greeley, and soon went to work 

for Flat River Junior College full time, coaching the MAC Cardinals and teaching P.E. courses. 

During his coaching career at MAC, he had seven nationally ranked teams, and pushed numerous players to further 

their education and athletic careers at other institutions following MAC. Four players have gone on to play 

for National Basketball Association teams. 

Sechrest was elected Coach of the Year three times by Region XVI of the National Junior College Athletic Association 

(NJCAA) and served as director of that region for more than 16 years. 

For years, he was a member of the NCAA Basketball Rules Committee. He served on the basketball player 

selection committees for the U.S. teams in the 1979 Pan American Games and the Olympics. He was also one 

of the basketball coaches at the first Olympic development camp in 1978 and was an assistant coach of the gold 

medal U.S. team in the 1979 World University in Mexico City. 

Sechrest assisted with the U.S. team which won the Governor’s Cup in the 1975 Brazil-Argentina Games and 

helped conduct clinics in Denmark and Sweden. He also served as president of the NJCAA Basketball Committee 

for at least six years. In the 1980s Bob was named to the NJCAA Hall of Fame. 

Sechrest retired from coaching the MAC Cardinals in 1986, but remained as athletic director for several years 

and worked part-time in the Wellness Center. He retired in 2003.

350-acre campus, knowing Mineral Area College 

still works for them today. 

Since the inception of the College in 1922, approximately 

11,000 students have earned degrees or certificates.

the Cardinal uniform, contributing to the competitive 

tradition of today. This year, the men’s and women’s 

programs have high expectations.

of a progressive Board of Trustees, and the dedication of an enthusiastic faculty

back to back junior varsity KCAC conference champions, he joined the coaching 

staff at Mineral Area in 1984 under legendary coach Bob Sechrest. When Sechrest retired 

from basketball in 1985, Tim became the second head basketball coach in MAC 

history and the youngest collegiate head coach in the country at that time. 

After leading the Cardinals to five MCCAC championshiops and one Region 16 

title, he retired from coaching in 2004 with a head coaching record of 421-196. He has

jersey retired. He began his college playing career at Mineral Area College in 1994, where he was 

an All-Conference and All-Region player. Tate was touted as a a pre-season All-American in 1995,

successful seasons playing under legendary coach Norm Stewart. Tate graduated with a Bachelor’s in 

Economics, and spent a season on the coaching staff as a Graduate Assistant at Mizzou. Tate played

High School: Cuba High School 


Career/Personal Goals: Graduate College 

Honors/Awards: All-Conference, All-Districts 

McDaniel spent the previous season at Missouri Baptist 

University, an NAIA affiliate in St. Louis, MO. He becomes 

the third college transfer to join the Mineral Area 

College roster for the upcoming season. “Korey grabbed 

our attention last year when we played Missouri Baptist in 

the pre-season. He’s strong, athletic, has a high basketball 

IQ, and can really shoot the basketball,” Head Coach Corey 

Tate. McDaniel averaged 3.2 points and 1.5 rebounds 

in limited action on the Spartans’ Varsity squad. But, in 4 

JV games against junior college competition, McDaniel lit 

it up with 32.5 PPG and 7.5 RPG. 

McDaniel was a solid performer in Missouri small school basketball. “He is a bit of 

an unknown commodity since he played in a rural school that wasn’t really considered 

a basketball power. But, he has physically matured and knows how to play the 

game at the college level,” Coach Chad Kish. “We are very excited to have Korey 

join our program here at Mineral Area College,” stated Corey Tate.

Carlton Clayton 

6’4” 

Guard 

Chicago, IL 

Guyton, a 6’4”, long athletic guard can play multiple positions in the 

Cardinals’ system and should be a nice fit to the up-tempo system run 

at Mineral Area College. He averaged 17.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.4 

assists, and shot over 75% from the FT line during his senior campaign. 

He was honored on the SICA South All-Conference team in 

2008. Guyton had a standout summer for the Illinois Bobcats AAU 

program helping them to multiple Tournament Championships. The 

scouting report from ChicagoHoops.com on Guyton is, “he is a long 

and athletic shooting guard who is capable of getting points both with 

his jump shot, and also with his ability to slash to the basket.” Carlton 

should bolster an already talented backcourt and help fill the void of 

several talented graduated guards. “He is an athletic comb-type guard 

that has a nice stroke from long range and can finish off the bounce. 

He is very scrappy grabbing rebounds and deflecting alot of balls with 

his hustle,” commented Assistant Coach Sean Pryor.

Tonye Smith was one of the hottest comodities on the

game played at Memphis Catholic. “Tonye knows how to score, he knows how 

to get open, uses his 6’2 frame just as good as anyone in the country. Smith

Academic Support: 

Mineral Area College Basketball Plan for Academic Success 

Academic Assessment 

Each individual’s initial academic assessment indicates the student-athlete’s academic strengths 

and weaknesses and helps us tailor a personalized study program to be created that uses the most 

effective teaching strategies for each student. 

Academic Skills Development 

Each student will be taught quality note-taking, effective study skills, and successful test-taking 

practices through the Fundamentals of College Success Course. 

Academic Tutors 

Students will meet with tutors in the Math Lab, Writing Lab, and EXCEL Program to tailor a tutoring/mentoring 

program to help ensure individual academic success. 

Academic Support 

Various Academic Counselors will be responsible for helping each student-athlete plan, make progress, 

and remain on track for earning a degree. 

Study Hall 

Each student athlete will be required to complete study hours in one of our various tutoring stations 

to help foster academic success. 

Student Performance Reporting 

All students at Mineral Area College receive individual performance reports throughout the semester. 

Our student-athletes receive these reports every other week. 

MAC Basketball Personal Development Plan 

Time Management 

The challenges placed on student-athletes are demanding, and time management is critical to each 

student’s success. 

Communication Skills 

Communication is essential for success in any field. Students are trained in effective verbal and 

non-verbal communication skills. 

Drug Education 

Our athletes are aware of negative and fatal effects of illegal substances. 

Financial Planning 

Many students accumulate debt during their college years. We will help to advise our student-athletes 

about this matter, and they will be taught effective budgeting skills. 

Life Skills Program 

Our Coaching Staff attempts to teach “real life lessons” on a daily basis through athletics.

Individual Development 

The backbone of MAC’s basketball program is the coaching staff’s commitment to player development. 

Individual work-outs include: drills to improve shooting, ball handling, scoring situations, 

post-moves, footwork, agility, and strength. 

“Individual work-outs helped me to improve my fundamental areas like shooting, and reading 

screens. I have developed a better shot through our program.”

Strength & Conditioning 

The coaching staff is committed to the Cardinal Strength & Conditioning program throughout the 

entire season. The pre-season and post-season are vital to the program’s success. The program focuses 

on strength development, agility, increasing speed and vertical jump, plyometrics, flexibility, 

conditioning, and stamina. The program is results driven, and has a variety of training methods. 

“The strength program at MAC is intensive and cutting edge. The coaches make strength training 

and conditioning basketball related, which has really improved my game.”

Welcome to 

College Park 

Why on-campus 

A living-learning complex on the Park Hills campus. 

At a price you can afford! 

There are obvious advantages, such as being close 

to classes and campus activities, the benefits of 

campus security and access to community resources. 

Studies also show that students living on-campus 

actually have a better opportunity for growth and 

success: “Living in a student community enhances 

the learning process and better prepares the individual 

for the real world.” 

But forget all that practical stuff. The fact is, living 

in College Park is FUN! The heart of the action, 

closeness of your peers and the privacy of residential 

living makes this the best place to get the most 

out of the “college experience”! 

Among the finest campus housing in the nation, 

the best of both worlds: on-campus residence floor 

plans and flexibility. 

Not just a dormitory complex, College Park is 

a community of students, sharing the common 

goals of academic and personal success. 

The entire staff -- live-in managing director, resident 

assistants, maintenance personnel -- are all 

here to help further those goals any way they can. 

Whether enjoying a swim in the pool or a game of 

sand volleyball, College Park residents can enjoy 

the benefits of fun and social acitivites.
