Rich Hill Alumni & Former Podcast Guest Sees College Action

By Cody Morris
Brayden Chandler, of Rich Hill, is now playing collegiate ball at Ozark Christian College in Joplin, MO. Chandler is one of 3 freshmen on a senior laden roster for the Ozark Ambassador’s. Ozark is ranked #5 in the NCCAA DII Coach’s Poll with a current record of 11-1.

On Tuesday (1/14) the Ambassadors made the trip to Belton to take on the Calvary University Warriors, Tailgate TV traveled up to catch Brayden in action. Going into the contest, Chandler had seen minutes in 2 previous games where he had averaged 7 PPG on 80 percent shooting from range and had grabbed 1 steal in each of those outings.

Chandler did log minutes in Ozark’s dominate 80-59 win over Calvary, however he was held scoreless for the first time this season.

As a true freshman on this veteran OCC ball club, Brayden seems to be getting a little bit of solid experience under his belt, as he prepares to step into a hopefully larger role as his career as an Ambassador continues.
