Cori Doubek, Small Town North Dakota Girl, Excels on and off the Court

Hello Jimmie Fans,

I am Cori Doubek, one of the seniors at Jamestown College, and I will be playing basketball for the Jimmie Women's Basketball team for my fourth and final year. I am originally from Anamoose, ND, a small town with less than 300 people, and I graduated with a class of nine! I participated in basketball, volleyball, and track in high school; however, I decided to continue my athletic career by participating in the sport that I loved the most, basketball.

I first attended Jamestown in the fall of 2005. I found out that it was a great campus with very friendly people. At first, basketball seemed very overwhelming for me, but as the year went on, I became close with the girls on the team, and collegiate basketball was a challenge that I wanted to continue improving on. Over four years of basketball, I have had so many wonderful experiences. I've met some of my best friends and I've worked hard to get where I am today. Playing basketball not only helps me as an athlete, but it also helps me as a student as well. I keep myself motivated, I am organized, and I manage my time between basketball, studying, and my social life. I plan to graduate on May 9th, 2009 with a Psychology and Business degree.

I am very excited for another year of basketball! My love of the game has grown immensely and it is sad to think that this is my last and final year. On that note, I plan to work hard and do the best that I can to help my team to an unforgettable season.

Senior Heidi Fiechtner comments on JC experience

Hello Jimmie Fans!


My name is Heidi Fiechtner. I am a senior at Jamestown College. I plan on graduating in May, 2009 with a degree in Psychology. I am originally from Fargo, North Dakota where I attended Fargo North High School and graduated in the spring of 2004.

I came to JC after spending a year at Concordia College-Moorhead where I participated in volleyball. I decided I wanted a change, and was fortunate enough to be given the chance to play basketball at Jamestown College. Through balancing my academics and basketball, I have learned a lot about myself and life. There have been many obstacles along the way, but my love of the game, the program I have been fortunate enought to be a part of, and my teammates and coaches have helped me see past, and be able to conquer the challenges presented.


I have been blessed to be a part of the Jimmie Women's Basketball program for the past three years and I am excited about this upcoming season. We have a great combination of old and new talent that will make for a fun and promising season.

Hope to see you all there!
Heidi Fiecthner

Head Coach Mark Wiest thought the alumni game was a success. "We were very glad to have some of the girls come back and participate. It's a great way for our former players and current players to re-connect. We hope to make this an annual game and hope in the future we have more alumni come back to compete." If you hope to participate in the future, please feel free to contact Mark Wiest at mwiest@jc.edu.
