COACH BEAURY ON WILLIAMS: “Malcolm is a tremendous athlete and can be a difference maker for our team this year. He has great strength and athleticism, which is evident every time he gets on the glass. Malcolm changed many games just by his ability to chase down the ball and get 50/50’s last year. When given the opportunity, Malcolm could be someone that will bring the crowd to its feet. We look for him to continue to dominate the glass and the paint as we play against some really good teams this season in the NE-10.”
