Blazer Profiles: Coach Merkerson - The Extra Ember

As hoops season gets ready to take over Titletown in the winter, it's fitting we bring on the newest Lady Blazer basketball head coach for an Extra Ember!

Join Jaylan Scott and Chris Mercer along with Chandler Merkerson for an episode unpacking Coach Chan's return to Valdosta, the 2024-25 campaign, and projecting how this season will continue fueling the Lady Blazers' flame!

This episode was done in collaboration with Valdosta State's official newspaper, The Spectator, and its podcast, The Torch. Tune in to their show using the link below:⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/4bgkmPr8kOUq4gjRhnvnI3?si=e21d72bf8c394fa5⁠⁠
