Famu Men’s Basketball Completes from Jackson State in Spring Homecoming, RISES in the SWAC – TALLAHSSE DEMOCRAT ranking

On Saturday, Rattlers defeated the guest Jackson Tigers 76-71 in a game of a southwestern athletic conference in downtown Al Loson. Famu (11-12, 8-4 in SWAC) held a 25-point lead, but Jackson State (8-17, 8-4 in SWAC) made an effort to return, which fell apart.

“Hard, frugal game,” Famu’s head coach Patrick Kryri II at the post -game press conference. “We played our best basketball for the year for the first 34 minutes. We fought the pressure at the end. So, I will make sure that I am held responsible and preparing our boys for these types of situations. “

Famo Sterling Young guard had the highest 28 points from the bench at eight out of 14 firing, two out of five of the three-point lines and 10 for 10 on the free throw line. Famu guard Milton Matthews followed with 15 points, while fellow guard Jordan Chatman scored 14.

“He just came from my coaches, suggesting confidence,” Young said for his performance. “I try to look to participate and let mine come naturally.”
