twenty-two in the ranking. This week, OC
breaks into the top twenty, showing up at number

juncture in the 2009-10 basketball season. Last
Saturday evening, Odessa College concluded play
for the 2009 fall term with a 81-42 victory over
the University of Chihuahua, Mexico. The

in rebounding with nine boards per event. The
