Rockford Lightning News Release
Rockford, IL-Pending league approval, the Rockford Lightning announce the signing of Cordell Henry to the roster. Henry played his college ball at Marquette University as a point guard.
During his college career, the 5-10 Henry started in 110 of the 120 games he played in. He finished fifth all-time in assists at Marquette, finishing his stint with 430 assists. He also holds down the No. 1 spot on the school's career chart for assists in C-USA games with 244. Henry also finished ninth on the career chart in three point field goals (141) and steals (133). While with the Golden Eagles, he scored in double figures in 64 games, including 18 games in which he scored over 20 points or more. The Chicago native was also a four-year starter at Whitney Young High School, leading the Dolphins to the 1998 Illinois High School Association Class AA boys basketball state title.
"Cordell is a pure point guard with great speed and has a knack for finding people and getting everyone involved. We're looking for him to compliment our up-tempo style of basketball and give us a solid back-up to compliment Stais Boseman," says Lightning assistant coach Troy Farrow. Henry joins the recently signed Jermaine Walker, who had 30 points in his Lightning debut last night against Great Lakes. To make room on the roster, the Lightning have waived Carson Cunningham and Jermaine Williams.
The Bolts travel to Bismarck, ND this weekend to take on the Dakota Wizards for another back-to-back set. Game time on Friday and Saturday night is at 7:05 p.m. The Lightning then return home for back-to-back home games on Monday, January 31 and Tuesday, February 1. Rockford hosts Great Lakes for another important Eastern Conference showdown on Monday, and then the Bolts take on rival Gary on Tuesday. Tip-off for both of those games is at 7:05 p.m., and all kids tickets are half-price. To order your tickets, call the MetroCentre box office at 815-968-5222.
