CHICKASHA - Brisco McPherson, head basketball coach of the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma, has announced the signing of Illinois all-stater Dexter Williams. Williams is a 5-10 guard from Chicago Simeon High School who averaged 10 points per game with six assists and three rebounds.

This highly touted defender was a large factor in Simeon’s 33-4 season, and he played a key role in the Wolverine’s run to the state title. In the state semifinal game Williams held Duke University signee John Scheyer to a season low 18 points.

“Dexter has proven himself time and again, and I’m confident that he will continue his success here at USAO. I’m excited to have him on the court for us,” said McPherson.

McPherson also announced the signing of 6-5 forward Dalane Finley. Finley is a native of Forth Worth, Texas, and comes to USAO from North Lake Community College in Irving, Texas. The Blazers were the 2006 NJCAA Division 3 Champions.

Williams and Finley will join Keaton King of Ringling in the 2006 signing class.
