Sports rewind is a look back at recent results for Roane State’s men’s and women’s basketball teams.

Roane State men

The Raiders (7-3) started the week with a strong 98-91 win over Gadsden State on Monday, Nov. 28. Sophomore forwards Cedric Clinkscales and Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard each scored 23 points.

Roane State trailed by 10 at the half against Columbia State on Friday, Dec. 2, but the Raiders rallied in the second half. The comeback fell short, however, in the 59-56 loss.

Conference front-runner Jackson State dropped the Raiders 84-67 on Saturday, Dec. 3. Roane State was 2-of-19 from 3-point range, and the lack of outside shooting hurt the Raiders.

“Overall, our play was stronger on Saturday,” head coach Randy Nesbit said. “But we were up against an outstanding team and were not able to generate a sufficient offense.”
