It may not seem like it, but basketball season is upon us here in Long Beach.<\/p>\n

Expectations are high for both the men’s and women’s Long Beach State basketball teams this year, and fans of both squads will have a sneak peak into the upcoming season tonight when men’s coach Dan Monson and women’s coach Jody Wynn will discuss their teams during a cocktail reception the the Beach Club Sports Bar and Grill tonight at 6:00pm.<\/p>\n

This is the first of four public appearances during the “Weekly Wednesday Basketball Coaches Tour” that will take the coaches to Boston’s on September 22, Duke’s on October 6 and Legends on October 13. Coaches will discuss players new and returning, their upcoming schedules and more. It’s a great introduction to the season for casual fans as well as those who bleed black ‘n gold.<\/p>\n

Be sure to congratulate Coach Monson – he’ll be the one with the massive smile – as he just yesterday signed a new contract<\/a> that will keep him leading the 49ers through the 2015-16 season. With a maturing veteran core and several newcomers expected to contribute right away, Long Beach State figures to be among the favorites to win the Big West Conference this year.<\/p>\n

In Wynn’s second season at the helm, she’ll begin the building process as many graduating seniors are gone this year and the team will look to build off last year’s successes with a stellar incoming freshman class and good returning leadership.<\/p>\n

Prizes will be awarded at each of the coaches’ appearances, and anyone that brings along a non-season ticket holder as a guest will receive a free Long Beach State gift. Admission is free. At the end of the four appearances, two grand prizes will be awarded that include a trip for two to the men’s basketball game at Washington and a trip for two to a women’s basketball game as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
