Despite a tumultuous season on the basketball court, Ishaq Pitt remains optimistic.
“We haven’t been doing well at all,” says Pitt, who currently plays point guard for the Hawks at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. “We just have to come back and work harder and keep our focus.”
For the past few years, the Hawks have been on a constant losing streak, finishing the 2013-2014 season with a dismal 6-24 record. Last month, the university announced that it had decided not to renew the contract of basketball coach Frankie Allen, who has been at UMES for the past six years and who recruited Pitt out of high school to play for the team.
“We thank Coach Allen for the time he dedicated to UMES,” says Director of Athletics Keith Davidson. “We appreciate his service and wish him well in his future endeavors.”
