Martin Lewis Eggleston (1985-89) played center for the Kutztown men’s basketball team from 1985-89. He set 14 Kutztown career, season and game records, many of which still stand today. His career records include rebounds (864), blocked shots (254), field goals made (599) and field goal percentage (56.9%, 599-1053). A native of Coatesville, PA, Eggleston led the Golden Bear basketball team to one of its most successful seasons in school history in 1987-88. That season, KU won the PSAC Eastern Division title, advanced to the championship game of the conference playoffs and earned a berth in the NCAA East Regional playoffs. He was named the KU Male Athlete of the Year, Eastern College Athletic Conference South Player of the Year, first-team All-PSAC and a third-team All-American. Eggleston set single-season records that year in points (598), rebounds (321), blocked shots (108), field goals (254), field goals attempted (405) and field goal percentage (62.7%, 254-405). Of those records, only the field goals attempted and percentage records have since been surpassed. Eggleston has played nine seasons of professional basketball in Europe, in addition to a season with the Quad City Thunder and Cedar Rapids Silver Bullets of the Continental Basketball Association.
