The basketball gym has always been a special place for Clint Sargent.
That was never more true than that day in his freshman season at South Dakota State when he saw Jill Young in Frost Arena.
“I just remember seeing her walk across the floor,” he said. “She wasn’t in uniform, and she caught my eye.”
She was also a freshman — she’d just opted out of her scholarship to Creighton without ever playing for the Bluejays — but NCAA transfer rules required her to sit out a redshirt season.
Clint said it took him a couple of weeks “to get my courage up” and text her. They began dating in February.
And where did they go on their first date back in 2008?
“Probably our favorite place — Applebee’s,” he recalled the other day as he sat in his new office at Wright State.
