Shawn had 42 points which places him in a tie for third on the single game scoring list. Wiggins commented after the game, " I just want to thank my teammates for getting me the ball.  I had a feeling I had the touch after the third shot and I wanted the ball.  It was definitely a confidence builder." 

 

Eric Wills

 The Trojans are looking forward to the debut of point guard Erick Wills in the AC line-up on Saturday, November 17 when the Trojans host Rockland CC (NY). Wills, a cousin of former Trojan, University of Maryland, and Houston Rockets star Steve Francis, is from Laurel, MD and transferred to Allegany from Vincennes this year. AC ask Vincennes repeatedly to release Wills, but the Trailblazers waited until after their Invitational Tournament, in which AC played, to provide the release. Wills is touted as one of the top point guards in junior college basketball and is expected to provide leadership at the point.
