Markham's big night not enough for MSU women

Midwestern State’s Nolisha Markham enjoyed a career game Wednesday night at Tucker Coliseum. The junior forward poured in a season-high 22 points and finished off her first double-double as a Mustangs with 13 rebounds before fouling out with 4:50 to play.

But it wasn’t enough to overcome a tough defensive effort from No. 24 Arkansas Tech as the Golden Suns ran away with a 82-62 win to improve to 11-0.

“If we put two halves together, this would be a different game,” MSU coach Noel Johnson said. “They capitalized on our turnovers and that’s what a good team does.”

After receiving more than 40 applications for the Nicholls State head coaching job, the search committee has agreed upon 10 finalist and has conducted phone interviews, according to the school’s athletics department.

“We as the search committee were very pleased with the amount of qualified applicants for the position and believe we have narrowed it down to the best 10 candidates,” said Jason Dagate, search committee chairman, in a statement.

“The process has gone smoothly, and we have made a lot of progress, and we are excited about the number of great candidates for the position.”

The 10 finalists are: Jeremy ‘Bo’ Atterberry, assistant head coach/defensive coordinator at Southeastern Oklahoma State; William Hickson, assistant coach at Liberty; Hud Jackson, assistant head football coach at Central Arkansas; Kent Keith, interim head coach at Nicholls State; Jay Mills, head coach at Charleston Southern; Frank Monica, head coach/defensive coordinator at St. Charles Catholic High; Tim Rebowe, assistant coach at Louisiana-Lafayette; James Spady, assistant coach/offensive coordinator at Grambling; Charlie Stubbs, assistant coach/offensive coordinator at Central Missouri; and Charlie Weatherbie, former head coach at Louisiana-Monroe.
