Prairie View easy prey for ASU Hornets

Hornets senior Andrew Hayles

Alabama State seniors Andrew Hayles and Brandon Brooks celebrated Senior Night in style Saturday in a 64-49 rout of Southwest Athletic Conference rival Prairie View A&M at the ASU Acadome. Hayles led all scorers with 19 points, and Brooks contributed 17 points and eight assists. Sophomore Roland Fitch added 15 points, and junior Wesley Jones posted 12 rebounds.

Senior center Chief Kickingstallionsims turned in a solid defensive effort, making it difficult for any Prairie View player to get off an easy shot or drive the lane. Not a single Panther scored in double digits -- Alex Richman and Darnell Hugee each finished with nine points. With the win, the Hornets (17-8, 14-1 SWAC) remain at the top of the conference standings. The Panthers fall to 13-15 overall and 9-6 in the conference. The Hornets host SWAC rival Texas Southern at 7:30 p.m. Monday.
