Red Devil Hall of Fame
Ed Earnest has seen more Lower Columbia basketball games and sporting events than anyone. Earnest has served as the athletic trainer for LCC since 2000 but he has been involved with the program since he was 10 years old as a ball boy, statistician, player, coach and trainer. The son of former athletic director and LCC Hall of Famer Gary Earnest, Ed has been a big part of 19 conference championships in his 33 years serving the Red Devils. Earnest played for the LCC basketball teams in 1984-85 and 1985-86. Earnest was honored with the Phil Pesco Award as the top student/athlete in the entire NWAC conference. After graduating from BYU, Earnest spent 10 years working in sports medicine in Minnesota before his love of family and LCC brought him home. It’s estimated that Earnest has witnessed 900 LCC basketball games over his life.
