Both Southwest basketball teams will compete against the Saluqi Alumni on
Saturday, October 29 at the Verties Sails Gymnasium. The women’s game will

Prior to the Alumni games, Southwest is hosting an open house from 4 p.m. to

included a brand-new NBA floor and new chair-back seats on the lower level
and new bleacher seats on the upper level. Also planned are a new weight
room, new concession stand and a media room. All Memphis area high school
and college athletic directors and basketball coaches are invited to attend
the open house, as well as Southwest Foundation Board Members and
contributors to the renovation project.
The Saluqis and Lady Saluqis open the 2005-2006 regular season on Tuesday,
November 1 when Southwest hosts Coahoma Community College at the Verties
Sails Gymnasium.
