Central alum to move to Drake

RAPID CITY — Rapid City’s Adam Templeton can’t wait to get down to business — on and off the basketball court.
The former Central High School all-stater has transferred from the University of California-Irvine to Drake University for a couple of reasons.
“At Drake, academically, they’ve got a business major that I want to pursue,” Templeton said. “At Irvine, they didn’t have a business school, so I want to major in business at Drake.”
Templeton will also be exposed to a different brand of basketball, as the Bulldogs compete in the Missouri Valley Conference, featuring such mid-major powers as Creighton, Northern Iowa, Southern Illinois and Wichita State.
“Oh yeah, the teams are going to be a little better competition,” Templeton added. “I’m looking forward to that. Hopefully we can get to the tournament sometime.”
Templeton, who played two seasons at Irvine, signed with Drake in early June. He will, however, be forced to sit out a season because of NCAA Division I transfer rules. But, he seemed pretty optimistic about it.
“I think it will be good,” Templeton said. “Another year of school, and I’ll be able to work on my game.” . . . (read more)
