AC Facing Possible At-Large Bid to Nationals
BAYTOWN, TX – A sluggish offensive start combined with a strong defensive opponent left the No. 12 Angelina College Roadrunners on the short end of a 58-48 loss to No. 9 Panola College in Friday’s Region XIV Tournament semifinal action in Baytown.
AC’s slow start included just two points over the game’s first nine minutes, with the team’s first field goal not finding the net until nearly 10 minutes had elapsed.
However, because of the team’s strong year-long performance – AC finished as the No. 1 defensive team in the nation and finished the year with an 18-5 record – the ‘Runners may not be finished with their 2024-2025 season just yet.
On Sunday, the NJCAA will hold its “Selection Show,” at which time the organization will release the participants for the upcoming NJCAA Division I National Tournament in Hutchinson, Kansas. By virtue of their stellar season, the Roadrunners are considered one of the front-runners for an at-large bid.
Angelina College will release the selection results immediately following Sunday’s Selection Show program.
The email address for AC’s Sports Information Director is gstallard@angelina.edu.
