Hawks Hall of Fame
Charles Bryant was inducted alongside the rest of his teammates on the historic 1973-1974 Maryland Eastern Shore Men's Basketball team.
Under Coach John Bates, the Hawks capped off one of the most dominant seasons in UMES Men's Basketball history with a 27-2 (11-1 MEAC) record, winning both a MEAC Regular Season Championship and a MEAC Tournament Title. The Maroon and Gray won 20 games in a row to begin the regular season and finished first in the NCAA in scoring with 97.6 points per contest.
The Hawks earned a spot in the 1974 NIT Tournament. UMES went on to defeat Manhattan in the first round 84-81 at Madison Square Garden before falling to Jacksonville in the second round of the NIT. Â
Bryant played in six games for the Hawks during the 1973-1974 season, shooting a team-high 80% from the field.
