Freshman guard Matt Beachler and freshman forward A.J. Bullard pose for a portrait on Oct. 19 at McGuirk Arena.
Freshmen guard Matt Beachler and forward A.J. Bullard were separated by 1,250 miles, but came together to join the Central Michigan men’s basketball team.
The 6-foot-4 guard made a 70-mile trek from Lowell High School in Michigan to Central Michigan University, while Bullard, a 6-foot-9 forward, traveled 1,300 miles from The Woodlands High School in Texas.
In spite of their distance, position, and height, Beachler and Bullard are in a position to help the Chippewas in their first year.
