  Congrats to Larry "Buddy" Graham on his induction into the Missouri Basketball Coaches "Hall of Fame."  Coach

  Graham has had an impressive career coaching basketball in the Midwest, with two Illinois State Championships at Madison

  High School, two NCAA-II Elite Eight appearances at SIU-Edwardsville, a NJCAA National Tournament appearance at

  Florissant Valley, and a NAIA-II Final Four appearance at Lindenwood University.  Graham was inducted into his third

  "Hall of Fame" (Indiana as a player & Illinois as a coach) at a ceremony in Springfeild, Missouri, in July of 2006.

  Darryl Butterfield signed a National Letter of Intent to join Coach Mike Anderson and his new staff at the University of Missouri in

  2006.  Butterfield had a solid career at Mineral Area College, leading the Cardinals to a Region XVI and MCCAC Conference

  Championship season at 28-5.  He is an athletic 6'7" forward that can score, rebound, defend, and screen.  "Darryl will be a great

  fit at the University of Missouri.  He is athletic, brings toughness, and understands what it takes to compete on a high level,"

  commented MAC Head Coach Corey Tate.
