Dave Brown wins his 200th Game as Head Coach of the Saints
|
Brown, in his ninth season as head coach at Seward County, won game No. 200 in which three Saints scored in double figures in a team effort defeating a scrappy Cloud County (10-8, 3-2 in the Jayhawk West) team that stayed in the game till midway through the second half.
Sophomore guard Keoni Watson put on another show last night as he scored 19 points with five assists. Freshman, Adam Tanner also played strong inside scoring 17 points and grabbing eight rebounds.
The Saints shot well from the floor as they were 26-for-59 from the field (.441) and handled the ball well committing only nine turnovers. Watson was the leading contributor in many Saints fast break situations as he capitalized on two Jerrell Green steals converting both for easy lay-ups.
