Guard Waters leading ASU Hornets’ charge in SWAC

MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Alabama State junior guard Jamel Waters can fill a stat sheet as well as anyone.

Last Saturday against Southwestern Athletic Conference rival Alabama A&M, Waters scored a team-high 18 points and had a career-high eight steals, along with five assists and six rebounds.

"We lost a game there last year so we definitely wanted to come out with a lot of intensity," Waters said. "We came out flat at first, but we able to get the W. It was really big."

Waters was named the SWAC player of the week for the second time this season after his performance, and said his work in practice has earned him such awards.

"It's such an honor," Waters said. "Every day, I work to the best of my abilities and just prepare to be my best every time I step on the floor."
