Tomorrow may conclude the Boston Red Sox season; average pitching and no run support from a team who began the season more than hopeful regarding both.

ADAM DEYO
Adam Deyo is serving as the Lady Flames’ director of operations for the sixth consecutive season. He is responsible for the daily operations of the program, including the logistics of practice and game-day management, coordination of managers’ duties, team travel arrangements and scheduling of games.
Deyo, a native of Cincinnati, Ohio, graduated from Gordon College in Wenham, Mass., where he was a member of the Fighting Scots basketball squad during his tenure. Deyo earned his bachelor’s degree in Biblical and Theological Studies in 2002.
While in college, Deyo was actively involved in Athletes in Action (AIA), working summer basketball camps and touring internationally with their basketball team. He also served as an intern with AIA in Colorado, where he met his future wife, Kelley, who served as an assistant coach for the Lady Flames for four seasons. The two were married in 2002. After their marriage, the Deyo’s moved to Austria, where Kelley played professional basketball, while Adam was on staff with AIA.
“The mission statement of our program is to ‘develop women of excellence who glorify God in basketball and life’,” stated Deyo. “I feel that it’s a great opportunity to help build a top-ranked program, while having an eternal impact as our top priority.”
“Adam is a great asset to our program,” noted head coach Carey Green. “He does a tremendous job with the details of scheduling facilities, travel and hotels and assisting with game management. He continues to do such an outstanding job that it allows me to be involved in other important details – like fishing. I appreciate most that Adam has a heart for our program and is a man of integrity.”
Deyo and his wife, Kelley, currently live in the Lynchburg area with their sons, James (2) and Judah (1).
KELLEY DEYO
Kelley Deyo is entering her fourth season as an assistant coach and her second year as recruiting coordinator on the Lady Flames' basketball coaching staff. Post play and development, on-court practice and game strategy and scouting are some of Deyo’s responsibilities in addition to recruiting.
Formerly Kelley Siemon, the native of Edina, Minn., is a 2001 graduate of the University of Notre Dame, earning a bachelor’s degree in sociology. She was a senior starter on the 2001 Fighting Irish national championship team. That season, she averaged 11.3 points per game, earning the BIG EAST Conference’s Most Improved Player award while hitting the 1,000-point mark in the final game of her career. Deyo was also named to the BIG EAST All-Tournament team as well as the NCAA East Regional All-Tournament team during that memorable year.
Deyo was selected by the Los Angeles Sparks in the third round of the 2001 WNBA Draft, but decided instead to intern with Athletes in Action on Duke’s campus in 2002. In 2003, Deyo played professional basketball overseas in Vienna, Austria.
“It has been an absolute joy to work for someone like Carey Green – a man who genuinely cares about his staff, his players and the Lynchburg community,” commented Deyo. “Under Coach Green, I truly believe that Liberty University will one day compete for a national title. He expects his players to compete at the highest level on the court, while being concerned for their personal and spiritual growth as well."
"Kelley brings the ultimate example of a champion for Christ to our program," head coach Carey Green stated. "She continues to have the enthusiasm to grow in the game of basketball and in her spiritual life as well. Her desire for achievement challenges our players to achieve at the highest level. I am very grateful that Kelley has a true passion for the game of basketball and for our program."
Deyo and her husband, Adam, who serves as the director of basketball operations for the Lady Flames, currently live in the Lynchburg area with their son, James, born in July.
