Chris DeBose and Jake Hensel will play the next four years at Missouri Valley College.
Maplewood Richmond Heights basketball players Chris DeBose, a forward, and Jake Hensel, a point guard, shared the stage last Thursday in the MRH library as together, they signed to play the next four years at Missouri Valley College. Missouri Valley, in Marshall, MO, holds open tryouts, instead of sending a coach to visit potential players.
