points to lead seven players in double figures as the
Southwest men’s basketball team defeated Genesis One
Prep 123-61 last Friday night at the Verties Sails

In one of its top defensive games of the season,
Southwest limited Genesis One to 38.7 percent shooting
(including 29 percent in the first half) and forced a
staggering 45 turnovers. The Saluqis had 30 steals as a
team, led by Beal and Riley with six each. Johnson and
Rodgers led the rebounders with nine boards apiece.
The Saluqis (12-2) and the 7th-ranked Lady Saluqis

Arkansas Baptist College at the Verties Sails Gymnasium.
The women’s game will tip-off at 6 p.m. followed by the
men at 8. The Saluqis will also travel to Russellville,
Arkansas on Wednesday night to take on Arkansas Tech’s
junior varsity.
