SOUTHWEST BASKETBALL TEAMS SWEEP IN TJCCAA PLAY
The
nationally-ranked Southwest basketball teams continued their
outstanding play with sweeps of Columbia State and Jackson
State last week and Dyersburg State on Monday night in
Dyersburg. Gina High (pictured at right) scored a
season-high 20 points and Ashley Shields posted her fourth
triple-double of the season with 14 points, 14 rebounds, and
10 assists to lead the 15th-ranked Southwest
women’s basketball team past Dyersburg State 88-56. The win
improved the Lady Saluqis record to 20-1 overall and 11-1 in
the Tennessee Junior and Community College Athletic
Association and was their 17th in a row.
The
19th-ranked Southwest men improved to 19-4
overall and 11-1 in the TJCCAA with a 94-91 win over
Dyersburg State. Scoring in double figures for Southwest
were Antonio Young (16), Chris Evans (pictured at left)
(14), Emmanuel Cheers (13), and Greg Grimes (13). Only two
home games remain for the Southwest basketball teams – this
Saturday against Volunteer State (women at 2 p.m., men at 4
p.m.) and next Monday, February 19 against Shorter College
(women at 6 p.m., men at 8 p.m.)
