Polk State Basketball’s 2026-27 season and Head Coach Marreese Speights’ tenure is off to a splendid start!
The Eagles opened the season with a 104-40 rout of Warner University JV on Friday night. Polk State President Anastasios Kamoutsas told the team he’d give them 50 pushups e dunks for the night. The Eagles exceeded that total in the first half and the President made good on his pledge.
Coach Speights also felt the support of Rotary Club of Winter Haven during his debut. The Rotarians were out in full force to cheer on the Eagles in the opener. Speights spoke at the nonprofit’s monthly meeting earlier in the week.
Prior to the Saturday afternoon’s 129-68 win over Florida College JV, Rev. Trevor Allen of Imprint Ministries was recognized with a framed jersey for his support of Polk State Basketball and Polk State Athletics. Known as "Pastor T," Allen gives generously in in-kind donations to each of Polk State's five athletic teams.

The journey hasn’t been easy, and the road ahead won’t be either. But every obstacle, every setback, and every sacrifice has shaped us into who we are today. 💯
We weren’t built through comfort. We were built through adversity. The struggle created our strength,🏀

Great test tonight in our scrimmage against a top-ranked Florida Southern team! We created plenty of good opportunities but came up short 96-90. Proud of the way our guys competed and battled until the end!
A lot of positives to build on and plenty of areas to improve. We’ll learn, grow, and be better!
Great preparation for our season opener on Friday! 🦅🦅🦅🏀@PolkStateHoops
