Parkland College Notes

Parkland comes into this game ranked #10 in the NJCAA D II poll and competes in Region 24 of the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA). Allie Lindemann is currently in her first season as Head Coach of the Parkland women's basketball program. She was an assistant coach on the same bench for the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons, where she was responsible for recruiting and player development, and she also served as a volunteer assistant here from 2011-2013. 

Immediately after her two-year stint volunteering at Parkland, Lindemann made stops at University High School, Normal, IL, and Hamilton Community College. Taking her first head coaching job in 2010, Lindemann led University High School to a 44-14 combined record and an IHSA Sectional Championship appearance in 2012, and she was named the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association District Coach of the Year that season. The success earned her an assistant coach position at Hamilton College where she helped guide the Continentals to two NESCAC Championship quarterfinal appearances in four seasons.  

Darryl Watkins is entering his 1^st year at the helm for the Golden Eagles. Watkins spent five years as an Assistant Women's Basketball Coach for the Golden Eagles under legendary Coach Misty Opat. In five years, he was an integral part of the 2013, 2015 and 2017 National Championship teams and the 2014 National Runner-Up.  He was heavily involved in the program's recruiting, player development, strength and conditioning, and game preparation. RVC was an impressive 138-24 over those five seasons. A Rockford native, Watkins graduated from hometown Auburn High School in 2007, and from Rock Valley College with his AA in 2009. He has also received his bachelor's from Rockford University in Physical Education in 2012, as well as his master's in Sports Administration from Chadron State College (NE) in 2016.
