Xavier Gold Rush to conduct tryout for walk-ons on September 7

The Gold Rush are two-time defending
GCAC co-champions.
NEW ORLEANS — Walk-ons wishing to earn a spot on the 2013-14 Xavier University of Louisiana men's basketball team will need an early wakeup call . . . on a Saturday.
    

The XU men will conduct their annual tryout at 7 a.m. on September 7 in the Convocation Center. Candidates must be enrolled at Xavier during the fall semester, which began Monday.
    

For more information, contact assistant coach Alfred Williams at (504) 520-6778 orawilli39@xula.edu.
    

The Gold Rush were 24-8 in 2012-13 to extend Xavier's state record for 20-win seasons to 28. The Gold Rush reached 20 victories for the third consecutive season and the eighth time in Dannton Jackson's 10 seasons as head coach. The Gold Rush shared the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference regular-season championship with Philander Smith and qualified for the Buffalo Funds-NAIA Division I National Championship for the third consecutive year and the seventh time in nine seasons.
