By the time they departed Cornell, Steve Donahue’s coaching staff had become particularly adept at identifying, evaluating and recruiting transfer talent to Cornell. The staff’s final transfer, 6-foot-2 junior guard Andrew Ferry, is expected to help define the success levels of Bill Courtney’s first two years as new coach.

Trip to Ithaca
Back to school! Concordia doesn’t resume classes until next Monday. The rest of the family gets going today. Stephen’s first day of his senior year at Milwaukee Lutheran coincides with his sister Hannah’s first day as an English and Spanish teacher at the same school. I wonder if he’ll remember to call her Mrs. Meineke? The college kids also start classes today.
China Update
Andrew is on his way home from China. They had a great trip, and were undefeated against Chinese national and professional teams going into the final game (I haven’t heard how that turned out). Below is an excerpt describing the end of their closest game…. Read the rest of this entry »
Cornell Announced New Incoming Class
The Cornell University Athletic Department announced the incoming class for next year’s basketball team. Check out the story here.
Meanwhile Andrew is with his Athletes in Action team in China. It is hard to follow his progress considering we are traveling in Germany and Switzerland. We will have some stories to tell when we get home!

An update from Andrew…Cornell!
I’ll let Andrew speak for himself this time. Here is what he has to say, “After much consideration, thought, and prayer, I have made my decision to attend Cornell University. I believe Cornell is the perfect place to pursue my basketball goals as well as receive a high quality education. I am looking forward to getting started and getting back into the NCAA Tournament next year! Thanks for all the support and prayers!”
So, it is official, Andrew has decided to attend Cornell University next year. The links below are from the website and blog that covers Cornell basketball (and they do so very thoroughly! You will be able to follow Cornell as they defend their Ivy League championship and make their way back to the NCAA tournament once again. Badgers fans beware!).

Port Washington High School Boys’ Basketball Banquet
Last night I had the opportunity to speak for the Port Washington High School basketball banquet. A great team with great coaches, kids, and parents. Here are a few photos of a Faith in the Freshman book signing that followed.
Sophomore Story
No, I’m not necessarilyplanning the sequel to Faith in the Freshman. However, readers occasionally ask me about Andrew’s sophomore season at Palm Beach Community College. Read the rest of this entry »
59th Annual CIT
What a weekend at CUW! The 59th annual CIT was played in front of a huge, enthusiastic crowd. Special kudos to the CUW Falcon men following their tournament championship. A narrow 69-68 victory on Friday over Chicago was followed by an impressive 91-73 victory over Seward. Congratulations, also, to the Seward women who defeated our Falcons in the women’s championship game.
Andrew Ferry Update
Occasionally readers of “Faith in the Freshman” have asked me about updates on Andrew Ferry’s sophomore season. Now 20 games into the schedule, Andrew ranks 28th in the nation in scoring among Juco players at 19.1 points per game. Read the rest of this entry »
Andrew Ferry Christmas Update
In his last game before Christmas break, Andrew had a break of a different sort. He broke his nose against Miami Dade! Surgery was successful, and now he’ll play with a mask for a while. Sixteen games into the season, Andrew averages 19.1 points per game. His 65 three-pointers leads the nation for JUCO players! Here are some more photos from recent games!
