UAH men’s basketball player Josh Magette etched his name into the Gulf South Conference record book on Sunday, becoming the league’s all-time leader in assists while breaking a mark that had stood for 33 years. The senior registered 10 on the day to give him 745 for his career.
The preseason All-American surpasses the old number of 737 that was set by Sonny Charpentier of Nichols State who amassed his total during a stretch from 1975-79.
“I’m real happy for him,” said Head Coach Lennie Acuff. “He’s been a great player since the day he walked on our campus, and to break a record that’s been there for 30-something years and 50-something years of Gulf South basketball, it’s a real credit to him and it’s a real credit to his teammates.”
The senior from Birmingham, Ala. also became the only player in GSC history to own at least 1,000 points, 700 assists, and 500 rebounds.
“It’s a great honor,” Magette said. “I know how many good point guards have come through this conference – especially here at UAH – and to not only be the leader at UAH but in the conference is just special.” (Courtesy of UAHChargers.com)
