“Torey was a huge contributor in our come from behind victory over Seminole State College. He scored 12 points, had 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, and brought energy to the team in a much needed stretch to push us over the hump. Torey is a freshman starter from Midwest City and works very hard on his studies. He is one of the leaders on the team,” said Jackson.
