SAILS WINS 500TH! |
| Congratulations to
Southwest men's basketball coach Verties Sails, who won his 500th game
Saturday afternoon as the Saluqis defeated Columbia State 102-75.
Leading the team were sophomore Lou Wright, who scored all 24 of his
points in the first half, and freshman Antwon Bess, who scored 22
points. The Saluqis shot an outstanding 59 percent from the field,
including 72 percent in the second half. Southwest also out-rebounded
Columbia State 41-30 (led by Bess with 7) and committed only 12
turnovers. The Southwest women lost a 72-58
decision to Columbia State, ending a three-game winning streak by the
Lady Saluqis. Top scorers for Southwest were sophomore Latoshia Bailey, who
recorded a double-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds, and sophomore
Torre Thomas, who added 11 points, 6 assists, and 6 steals.
Both the Saluqis and Lady Saluqis travel to St.
Catharine (KY) this Friday night, then to Gallatin, Tennessee on
Saturday afternoon to take on Volunteer State in the final regular
season game. |
