Summers, a 6-2 guard from Jackson (Provine) cashed in a steal with short bank shot off the glass, giving Co-Lin a 63-62 lead with 10 seconds left to play. Earlier, Summers sank a short jumper off a steal for a 57-56 Co-Lin advantage, followed by a pair of free throws.

Summers, who finished with 15 points, recalled his go-ahead jumper. "I knew they would try to get it to No. 23 (Falando Jones). "Dwayne Brown had kept the ball from going out of bounds and flipped it back. Then I stole it and took it to the hoop."

The Trojans (1-2) had regained the lead at 62-61 on a jumper by DeMario Calvin and 22 seconds left on the clock. The black-uniformed visitors had forged a 6-point, 56-50 lead with 5 minutes left on a driving layup by Jarvis Moore.

Summers had signed with Tougaloo College after a stellar career at Provine. He dropped out at the semester and regained his eligibility at Co-Lin last spring.

"We can be a great team but we need better chemistry," said Summers. "We need to communicate better on the floor."

Co-Lin coach Dennis Sims saw his team outrebounded 43-23 but the Wolves caused 22 Trojan turnovers. They also got double digit scoring from Earl Warren with 16 points and Anthony Evans with 10.

"Earl Warren was a big difference for us, making those layups," said Sims. "He gave us some offense."

Warren, a 6-3 freshman from Carville, La., finished with 16 points.

"The big play was when DeMorris hit a layup and cut it (lead) to one. We are a young team and very inexperienced."

Brown, a 6-8 sophomore from St. Rose, La., was the only returning starter for Co-Lin this season. He was held scoreless by Delta's superior inside strength.

The Trojans, coached by Derrick Fears, got 14 points and 11 rebounds from Lonnie Cottrell, a 6-5 sophomore post from Belzoni. Falando Jones, a 6-4 sophomore from Greenwood, added 13 points.
