Navarro gets rings for last year’s title, then win, 118-36

From Staff Reports The Corsicana Daily Sun Tue Nov 03, 2009, 10:07 PM CST

Navarro celebrated last year’s Region XIV championship and first trip to the NJCAA national tournament on Tuesday night with a ring ceremony.

They also opened the new season with a ringing effort.

Freshman Greg Allen drilled five 3-pointers and scored 24 points as the Runnin’ Bulldogs hammered Texas Wesleyan’s Junior Varsity, 118-36, at the Wolens Center.

With last year’s All-American DeAndre Brown — now at Louisiana Tech — in attendance, Navarro built a 76-18 halftime lead.

“We played well in the first half defensively and got a lead,” Navarro assistant coach Eric Colbert said. “We were just trying to get everybody a chance to play.”

Jantzen Carter had 15 points and Matt Pressey added 13 for Navarro.
