OPSU Basketball Gearing Up for Next Winter
by Aggie Sports on 4/20/06

Goodwell, Okla.- Last season’s Oklahoma Panhandle State men’s basketball team had an exciting finish, placing third in the Heartland Conference, and the team currently boasts a nine-game home court winning streak.

Curt Connor will begin his third year as head coach in the fall and has been working toward another successful season through recruiting.

Chuck Salisbury, a solid 6’2 player from Beaver has committed to be an Aggie beginning next season.

Salisbury is quite impressed with Connor’s leadership and likes what he sees at the school on the academic side of things. Salisbury is also excited about playing his college basketball at the NCAA Division II level and likes the idea of being close to home so that family and friends can watch him play.

Salisbury is one of several fine prospects who will be joining the OPSU men’s team. It will be seven months before they swing into action, and Connor is prepared to do what it takes to have another successful year.
