BY RYAN LEWIS [email protected]

Jameson Richardson is not your average high school basketball play- er. The 6-foot-8-inch junior has made a name for himself on the court as Mangum High School’s star player and has led the Mangum Tigers to a 6-2 record during the 2018-19 season. Despite all of his success thus far, Richardson wants more, and to attain more, he said he feels like he has no choice but to move on from his home- town Tigers. “It was the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make,” Richardson said, “but I was motivated to transfer be- cause I wanted to get myself into a bet- ter situation.” Luckily for Richardson, he didn’t have to go very far to find his next des- tination. Just 15 miles south of where he has played basketball for years is Duke, home to the 10-0 Duke Tigers basketball team. Already a legitimate threat in Class B basketball, Richardson makes Duke Rick Carpenter | Altus Times downright lethal. Almost every team that has stepped up to the challenge of Kobi Gomez (top) takes on an opponent from Elgin at the Bulldogs home opener on Dec. 13. Gomez won his first four matches in Las Ve- taking down the Tigers has fallen flat. gas before falling via, 5-4, decision in the semifinal round. Gomez then narrowly lost in his first match in the consolation bracket before Duke’s closest game was a four-point defeating Andres Garcia in the fifth-place match. win over the Snyder Cyclones. After that, it was a seven-point win over Hobart, but in most games, the Tigers have won by an average of 30.6 points. Duke’s biggest win of the season came against the now 12-1 Big Pas- Bulldogs wrestlers ture Rangers. The Tigers dropped 85 points on the Rangers and held them to just 54, and now, Duke has the add- ed threat of Richardson on both the of- fensive and defensive sides of the ball.
