Jordan Scheidecker makes UW-Whitewater Men's Wheelchair Basketball roster for the 2016-17 season

2016 Nov 9

Jordan Scheidecker, from West Allis, Wis., who is studying physical education, has made the 2016-17 UW-Whitewater men's wheelchair basketball team.

The Warhawks are defending national champions with 14 titles.

"Every team has its own chapter and it is up to us to add our legacy and story to the book of wheelchair basketball," said Jeremy "Opie" Lade, head coach. "We write a new story every year and we will approach this year as a different team. The goal is to be a better team and better individuals at the end of the season."

This spring will mark the first time since 2009 that UW-Whitewater will be hosting the collegiate national championship. Teams from all over the country will be on campus competing for the national title.

"We take pride in the amount of support we receive from students and faculty," Lade said of spectators at tournaments. The tournament will take place March 9-12, 2017.

UW-Whitewater will host its annual home tournament this fall, Nov. 18-19, 2016, at Kachel Fieldhouse: http://www.uww.edu/recsports/wcathletics/mens/mensschedule-16-17
