Coach Alex Church shares his journey from growing up in Hedgesville, WV to coaching at Marshall and UAB.
After playing for his father [Kelly Church] at Hedgesville High School, he became a Student Manager at Marshall University where he helped them advance to the NCAA Tournament - where they went on to upset Wichita State before falling to West Virginia in the Round of 32. Coach Church accepted a Graduate Assistant position at UAB under Coach Rob Ehsan where they went on to have a 39-28 overall record with a winning record in C-USA competition. That first season in Birmingham they accepted a postseason bid to the CBI, and despite going 19-13 the following season, the staff was dismissed after advancing past UTSA in the 1st Round of the Conference USA Tournament - which ultimately ended due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Alex stepped away from coaching and started "Church Graphic Design" which services coaches who want to spruce up their resumes and portfolios so they stand out from the thousands of other job applicants.
