Kiang's Memphis Pros Win UHXFBC
Congratulations to Kyle Kiang and his team The Memphis Pros for their recent victory in the UHX Fantastic Basketball Challenge. Many of you might remember Kiang from the early UrbanHonking days when he was an advisor to the Online Magazine aspect of the site and served in the CIO position.
But beyond just being an early UrHo figurehead, Kiang also has previous experience coaching. He took the Jackson Middle School Patriots to a 7th place finish in their inaugural 2000-2001 season. In the 2001-2002 season the Patriots changed their name to the Clippers and finished second in the league.
Before coaching Kiang had a prolific intramural career on Palatine Hill where he earned a record 8 shirts, in Volleyball, Softball, Mixed Doubles Tennis, Badminton, Pickle Ball, Table Tennis, 3 x 3 basketball and inter tube water polo.
Now with a Fantasy League Championship under his belt it will be very exciting to see what comes next for the talented Kiang. We wish him the best of luck!
And don't forget that he played for the Lewis and Clark varsity hoop squad his senior year, quit the team through our road trip to Hawaii, and stayed another week.
Corrections - Kyle Kiang's IM softball championship was specifically a co ed nerf softball championship.
I like to think of Kiang as Lewis and Clark's Keith Closs: so much potential but could never overcome some of his darker demons.
I'm glad to see he's making something of himself.
