Delta Devils Shooters Sputter in Regular Season Finale

PINE BLUFF, Ark. - The Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils closed out their regular season with a 78- 71 loss to the Golden Lions of Arkansas Pine Bluff.

While the Mississippi Valley dominated the interior the entire game, perimeter shooting was an issue. The shooting touch faded as the 59% average from the first half iced to a mere 37% from the field and 11% behind the arc, in the second half.

Ta'Jay Henry, John Sanders, and Latrell Love all shot over 50% for the first half yet the sweet science of shooting plagued the team as a whole after halftime.

The second half of the game saw Marcus Romain find his stroke as he went 50% from the field contributing 31 points for the game along with 8 rebounds. Henry also added 11 points and 7 rebounds for the Delta Devils.

Currently the Delta Devils are in the lab working on a formula to place them in the SWAC Championship Game.
