Texas Tycoons News Release


Houston, TX - Texas Tycoons defeat Houston Undertakers in Houston, 134-101. The Undertakers and Tycoons are well known for their ability to put points on the board. Averaging over 130 points a game, each team had reason to believe that they would have the firepower to outscore the other but this game came down to defense. Holding Houston to more than 30 points below their scoring average, the Tycoons came away for the road victory in this one. Scoring for Houston was Carlos Weaver with 21, Emmanuel White (5'11''-G-82, college: Harding) 15, Jai Pradia (6'6''-F-79, college: Pittsburg St.) 13, and Emerald Womack had 12. For the Tycoons Josh Gonner (6'2''-G-82, college: S.Carolina) was 10-13 from the floor including 4 of 6 from beyond the three point arc for his 27 points. Jerome Rogers (5'10''-G-81, college: N.Texas) heated up in the second half connecting on eight bombs of the long distance variety en route to his 26 point and 7 assist performance. Also scoring in double figures for the Tycoons were Benny West (6'3''-G, agency: ProSportsCareers, college: Howard Payne) with 18, Brandon Lee (6'3''-G, college: Tarleton St.) with 17, Donnie Beacham (6'5''-F-81, college: Texas Arlington) with 15, and Tyrone Rayson (6'6''-F-80, college: East Central) with 11 points and 8 rebounds.
