Report: Bethune-Cookman’s second-leading scorer, reserve guard to transfer

DAYTONA BEACH, Florida -- Bethune-Cookman took a big hit to its roster on Tuesday afternoon as second-leading scorer Clemmye Owens and reserve guard Tony Kynard will transfer. The news of the duo’s transfer was reported by Corey Albertson of Prep Hoops Ohio.

Both Owens and Kynard are sophomore guards and come from Rogers High School in Toledo, Ohio. The 6-foot-1 Owens was a MEAC All-Rookie selection last season and during the 2014-15 season is averaging 15.3 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game in 32.9 minutes per contest. Kynard is playing 18.5 minutes a game and averaging 3.6 points, 2.7 assists and 1.5 rebounds per game in a reserve role.

The writing was on the wall for this transfer in the last few games as Kynard has not played in the last four games for the Wildcats while Owens missed the last three. With Bethune-Cookman already struggling to a 4-11 record on the season, the loss of their second-leading scorer is likely only to make matters worse.
