ALMA MATER
In the Mississippi Valley,
In the Crescent Bend
Stands our loved and noble Xavier,
Far her praises send.
Refrain:
Wave her colors bear them onward
Gold and white so true
Hail to thee, all hail, dear Xavier
Hail, all hail, X.U.!
Xavier, ever be our guide
And lead us on the way,
Through life's journey, onward, upward
To the eternal day. (Refrain)

NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana's
Dannton Jackson is one of four selected as a court coach for the
2012 USA Basketball Men's U18 National Team training camp June 5-7 at the
U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo.
Jackson, South Carolina's Frank Martin, Chattanooga State's
Jay Price and North Carolina Wesleyan's John Thompson will assist the
national team coaching staff and the 24 players who will attend the training
camp, which will determine the 12-member U.S. roster for the FIBA Americas U18 Championship
in Brazil later in the month.
"It's an honor to be able to represent, first of all
the NAIA, as well as Xavier and our country," Jackson said. "It will
be an honor to work with some of the best coaches in the country, as well as
some of the most talented under-18 players in the country. I’m looking forward
to the experience and can't wait to get to work."
Jackson is 202-90 in nine seasons as Xavier's head coach with
three Gulf Coast Athletic Conference regular-season co-championships, seven
20-victory seasons and six appearances in the Buffalo Funds-NAIA Division I National Championship.
His Gold Rush were 23-9 this past season, sharing the GCAC regular-season
title with Tougaloo, qualifying for nationals for the second straight year
and ranking 24th in the NAIA postseason coaches poll.
Xavier is the only men's team in the NAIA or NCAA to rank in the top six in
scoring defense in its division each of the past five seasons.
The U18 coaching staff consists of Florida's Billy
Donovan, Gonzaga's Mark Few and VCU's Shaka Smart.
