Its good to see Coach Newman, my high school coach, back on the bench...

“This is right,” said center Kyeshia Vinson, who scored 16 of her 22 points in the first half to help the Golden Wildcats to a 45-24 lead. That still rated her a couple of lashes of the tongue after the game for lack of hustle after Newman’s first full game on the bench in this, his 35th season as the Golden Wildcats’ coach.
