Mike Joyner, Athletic Director at Kerr Vance Academy, is coming to the end of his first year on the job. Joyner, who was a guest on SportsTalk Thursday, expressed gratitude to those who have helped make his transition from bigger schools to KVA a success. “We have great support, lots of tradition and a great booster club,” Joyner said. After 27 years the smaller school size works well for Joyner. “Everyone knows everyone on a first name basis,” Joyner added.
Joyner and KVA are in preparation for the annual holiday tournament at the school, which kicks off Friday morning at 10:30 and will continue on Saturday. The school will use both gyms for the tournament, which will feature Brunswick Academy, Thales Academy, Oxford Prep, Oak Forest and, of course, Kerr Vance Academy. The tournament will start with JV games followed by women’s games and then the men’s games. Championship games will take place on Saturday with the women’s game at 1:30pm and the men’s game at 3pm. All games are at Kerr Vance Academy.
