KFDM COOP Posted November 11, 2007 Report Posted November 11, 2007 Lee cruises past Southwest Miss.By Michael PinedaBaytown Sun Published November 11, 2007It’s not Region XIV competition, but it is an undefeated start. Lee College improved to 4-0 Saturday in a 99-84 win over Southwest Mississippi Community College. Pre-season All-American Dominique Keller turned in a dominating performance with 30 points and 16 rebounds to lead an offensive explosion that saw six different Rebels reach double figures in the scoring column.“This is not Region 14,†Lee College head coach Roy Champagne said. “The proof will be in the pudding in Region 14. There is a different brand of basketball that our conference plays and that is why it is the best conference in the nation. “The only thing that we have going for us right now is our chemistry. Our practices haven’t been as good as we would like them to be this week but the guys came ready to play tonight.â€The Rebels came in with a height advantage, which suited Keller just fine as he dominated in the paint with the 30 points on 14 of 22 shooting. The sophomore added had four blocks on the night to go along with the game-high 16 rebounds.The game was an up-tempo affair as both teams worked the ball quickly down the floor in transition. At the end of the first half, Lee College held a 52-34 lead and kept the deficit near the 20-point mark for most of the game. Freshman C.J. Busby of Kountze added 15 points on six of eight shooting and converted three of his four three-point attempts. Sophomore transfer Terrence Littlefield scored 12 points on four of five shooting in 16 minutes of work. St. Paul Latham, Freddie Haynes and Hollis Giles each added 10 points. Haynes led the team in assists with six and Giles gathered in 10 rebounds. As a team, the Rebels shot 41 of 74 from the field. Lee College will return to action on Saturday when it visits Lamar State-Port Arthur.
