Shreveport – The men's and women's basketball teams were busy last week and the Competitive Cheer team earned a program-best score last weekend at the Worldwide Spirit Association Competition held at the Shreveport Convention Center.

The men's basketball team went 1-2 overall and earned a split in a pair of Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference contests on the road while the women went 0-3. The Gents fell 66-63 at Belhaven on Nov. 27, then 74-65 in their league opener on Friday at Austin College, but rebounded with a 91-87 win at Dallas on Saturday. The Ladies fell at home last Wednesday to Millsaps, 69-52, and then dropped both SCAC contests last weekend against Austin College (68-55) and Dallas (69-51).

Cheer received a 91 out of 100 possible points for their college co-ed game day performance last Saturday to earn its program-best score. The team earned a 19.5 out of 20 possible points for their performance in the fight song portion of their routine. They also earned a 9.5 out of 10 for the cheer section as well. The team earned perfect scores in game day, visual appeal, material relevant to Gameday environment, and motion technique/crowd leading tools.

Top Individual Performer: Men's Basketball - Senior F Seth Thomas (Kilgore, Texas)

Thomas scored a career-high 34 points in the Gents' 91-87 win at Dallas on Saturday in SCAC play, as he has now reached double figures in all 10 games this season.
