Winters Comes on Board

OTTUMWA --- A second NCAA Division I transfer has decided to continue his basketball career at Indian Hills.  Quevyn Winters, originally from Milwaukee, Wis., will join the IHCC program after one season at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh.

Winters, a 6’5” forward, played in all 30 games for the Dukes last year, starting the final eight.  He was third on the team in scoring with a 9.6 average and his 55 3-pointers led the team.  At one stretch he made at least one three in 10 straight games.

IHCC coach Barret Peery says Winters is a big athlete that really shoots the three well and is talented around the rim.  “Quevyn’s experience at the D-1 level last year will make his transition to Indian Hills very smooth,” Peery said.  “His stats show he had a lot of success as a freshman and I would think he has a chance to do great things here next season.”

Winters scored a season-high 22 points in a game at Temple, which lost to Indiana in the third round of the NCAA Tournament.  His scoring average was 10.4 in Atlantic 10 play and 13.1 as a starter late in the season.  Overall he shot 38 percent from three-point range and 74 percent at the foul line and improved those percentages in conference games.

“Quevyn has a tremendous feel and understanding for the game and he’ll be a great fit at Indian Hills,” said Peery.

After starting his high school career at Washington HS in Milwaukee, Winters ended it by averaging 22 points and nine rebounds for M.A.C.K Academy in North Carolina.

Winters joins Marcus Posley, who played last year at Ball State, as D-1 transfers on next year’s IHCC roster. 

 

Posley Joins Warriors

OTTUMWA --- Indian Hills Community College basketball coach Barret Peery has utilized a handful of NCAA Division I transfers to help compile a 59-8 record in his first two seasons at IHCC.  So it’s no surprise that he is tapping into that area again as he gets ready for the 2013-14 campaign.

Marcus Posley, who played in 30 games for Ball State University last year as a freshman, has signed to attend Indian Hills.  Posley is a 6’1”, 200-pound guard from Rockford, Ill., whom Peery says “is very talented and can do a lot with the basketball.”

Indian Hills will need to replace the top two three-point shooters from last year’s team, Ronald Ross and Frank Williams, and Posley should help fill that void.

“Marcus has fantastic range on his shot and I expect him to make a lot of 3s for us next year,” the IHCC coach said.  “He can also play multiple positions and handles the ball well in transition.”

Posley made eight starts for Ball State, a Mid-American Conference member, all of them in the final nine games of the season.  He averaged 6.5 points for the year with a high game of 20.  He also led the team with an average of 2.9 assists per game.

In his high school career, Posley earned three letters in basketball and was also a standout track athlete.  He was a three-time all-conference choice in basketball.

Peery concluded his assessment of Posley by saying, “He’s a very tough kid from a great family.”
