Scouting Report

The Ronny Fisher Connection
Campbell's head coach Ronny Fisher began his coaching career at Presbyterian College where he spent eight seasons (2008-16) as the women's head coach and 11 seasons, over two stints, assisting with the men's team. Senior guard Kacie Hall was among Fisher's final signing class prior to his departure for Campell in April 2016.
