Bess (Hamilton High) came off the bench to score 17 points, and
sophomore center Cedric Bryson (Hamilton High) had one of his best
games with 16 points, 12 rebounds, and two blocked shots. The win was
the third in a row, and sixth of the last seven games for the Saluqis,
now 11-8 overall and 5-3 in the TJCCAA.

a matchup with Jackson State Community College on Thursday night at
the Verties Sails Gymnasium. The women's game will begin at 6:00 p.m.,
followed by the men at 8:00 p.m. Jackson State's men's team enters the
