Point Guard 
1994 to 1997

Lacy Hampton has been a member of the St. Mary’s family for over a decade and is remembered for his hard work both on and off the court. On the court, Hampton was one of the best guards to ever don the gold and blue. He is the school’s all-time leader in assists with 545 and ranks second in steals with 115. He also played in 119 games, the third most in school history. His 171 assists and average 5.9 per game in 1997 are both seventh for a single season in school history.

During his four years, he scored 1006 points while pulling down 421 rebounds. Hampton played during one of the most successful eras in St. Mary’s basketball. He helped lead the Rattlers to an 85-34 record with four Heart of Texas Conference Championships and three NAIA National Tournament appearances. The Rattlers won 20 or more games three times with Hampton on the squad. As a senior in 1997, he earned Team MVP honors, First Team All-Heart of Texas Conference recognition and was named St. Mary’s Outstanding Male Athlete of the Year. He also won the Team Hustle Award in both his junior and senior years. 

After finishing his time as a student-athlete, Lacy remained at St. Mary’s, serving as a student assistant coach and later a graduate assistant coach for the men’s basketball team from 1998-2001.
