Rankin and Staff Win Atlantic East Honors

Hackettstown, NJ: Centenary men's basketball continued its strong season with major conference recognition, as Kenneth Rankin earned First Team All-Conference honors while the Cyclones' coaching staff was named Coaching Staff of the Year for the second consecutive season.

Rankin's selection highlights the impact he has made throughout the year, consistently leading the Cyclones on both ends of the floor. His performance places him among the conference's elite and underscores the steady growth of Centenary's program.

The back-to-back Coaching Staff of the Year honor further reflects the culture the Cyclones have built, marked by player development, accountability, and team-first success. Head Coach Chris LaBelle is joined by his brother Nick LaBelle, Tyler Clark, Mike Young, and Kyle O'Brien. 

"I couldn't be prouder of Kenny Rankin for earning First Team All-Conference honors," said head coach Chris LaBelle. "That recognition is a testament to the work he's put in every single day, but it's also a reflection of the leadership and brotherhood he has in our locker room. None of this happens without great teammates pushing each other and an incredible coaching staff that pours into these young men. Winning Coaching Staff of the Year for the second year in a row speaks volumes about the culture and work ethic we're building here at Centenary. It's never about one individual — it's about players believing in each other and coaches committed to helping them grow on and off the floor." 

With the honors, Centenary continues to solidify its presence as one of the conference's rising programs.
