BURN THE HORSE

| John Gillon |
When UALR’s John Gillon scored 22 points in the season
opener on Friday he became the first Trojan freshman to score that many points
in a game since the 2003-2004 season.
Gillon, a true freshman from Houston Strake Jesuit, came off
the bench to be UALR’s leading scorer in a victory over Tennessee-Martin at the
Jack Stephens Center.
It was the most points in a game by a freshman since Jan.
26, 2004, when Zack Wright scored 23 points in a 102-51 victory over Williams
Baptist. That had been the most points by a UALR freshman since Feb. 24, 2001 when
Nick Zachary scored 31 points in a 94-85 victory over Arkansas State.
