Past and Present Battle in Alumni Game

Deep Red Hawk squad debuts in scrimmage

- (10/15/2005)

Past and present Simpson basketball players came together as the current 2005-2006 Red hawks took on players from 1994-2005 in the Alumni game as part of Celebration Weekend.

A much deeper and improved squad from last year, the current Red Hawks defetaed the alumni team 91-63.  Sophomore guard Markise Morrison(Vallejo) led all scorers with 21 points.  Seniors Ben Saunders(G, Alta) and Mel Sattler (F, Fair Oaks) had 13 and nine points respectively for the 2005-2006 edition of Simpson basketball.

The alumni team was led with 11 points from Jimmy Williams(1998-2002) and Jeremy Stone(1995-97). 

While it was just a scrimmage, the contest gave the Red Hawks their first look at another opponent and the alumni a chance to play with old teammates again.

The official season begins on November 4th for Simpson, when they take part in the Oregon Tech Classic in Klamath Falls, OR.
