The Wabash Valley College Warriors are off until Dec. 1-2, when they will hold another Classic.
The Lady Warriors, though, are at St. Catherine, Ky., on Tuesday.
The Great Rivers Athletic Conference looks to be very competitive again this year. Only one team has a losing record. John A. Logan is 5-0 with a win at Vincennes. Rend lake is at 6-1 while Southeastern Illinois is 5-1, as is Olney Central. Wabash Valley is 5-2. Last year’s champion, Southwestern Illinois, is 4-1. Kaskaskia is 3-2, and on a three-game winning streak. Lincoln Trail is 2-2.
The only team struggling is Lake Land, at 0-3. An unusual thing about Lake Land is that all three opponents have scored 106 points against them.
Former Warriors
Three former Warriors at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte, 1-2, Antwon Coleman, Carlos Williams and Jerell Jamison. In a 79-67 loss to Syracuse, Coleman had five points, Williams eight and Jamison six. Coleman has started all three games, and averages about 19 minutes. He scored 7.0 points per game and 3.0 rebounds per game. Williams has started all three games and averages 26 minutes while scoring 7.0 ppg.

Hiram Fuller was the last player cut by the Utah Jazz. Coach Jerry Sloan had nothing but praise for Fuller. Fuller had 27 points and two rebounds in six pre-season games.

Former Lady Warriors coach Jim Whitsell, now at Loyola of Chicago, has the Ramblers at 4-1. Pat Smith, in his first year at Trinity Valley in Texas, is 2-3. Mark Coomes and the UI-Chicago Flames are off to a slow start, at 0-3. Rick Hughes is out of coaching and selling insurance.
