Mason Walters - 6’ 9” 225 - F - Jamestown ND

Wonder if he is interested in being Rocky’s replacement???
I’ll guess that Boden Skunberg’s former teammate could have 2 years of eligibility if he did transfer……

On a bit of a thread drift, another interesting big is 6’ 10” 225 Jackson Moni down at Northern State. The Sheyenne HS grad averaged 14.2 ppg, 5.5 rpg as a true freshman in 31 mpg. Even shot .387 from 3 range.

I have watch Mason play over the last couple years and he is really tough inside and can also shot outside. Strong inside defender and rebounder. Uses his body well.

DES MOINES, Iowa-- The fifth-ranked University of Jamestown men's volleyball team opened pool play with a sweep of No. 11 Aquinas (Mich.) College Wednesday evening at the NAIA Men's Volleyball Championship. Set scores were 25-17, 25-23, 25-20.

The Jimmies improve to 20-5 overall and will face No. 1 Grand View (Iowa) University Thursday at 7 p.m. in the final match of pool play. The winner of Thursday's match will advance to the semifinals.

Aquinas led 8-6 and 9-8 in set one before a kill by Derek Owens (SO/Andover, Minn.) and a combined block by Owens and Samuel Jackman (JR/St. Jean Baptiste, Manitoba) put UJ ahead 10-9. Jamestown would not trail again, and a 6-0 run after Aquinas had gotten as close at 16-15 proved to be the difference.

Set two was all Jimmies, and it looked as if UJ would cruise to an easy 2-0 match lead after taking a 17-10 lead. Aquinas hung around, and despite being down to set point at 24-20, reeled off three straight points and forced a Jamestown timeout. After the timeout, Korben Phillips (FR/Western, Australia) took a Derek Correa (SO/Vega Baja, Puerto Rico) pass and ended the set.

UJ played from behind in the third set, trailing as much as 10-7, then used a service error to start a string of three straight to tie the set. After Aquinas went back in front 11-10, the Jimmies used an Owens kill and two Saint attack errors to retake the lead. Jamestown kept the lead as high as three points, and a Caylor Cox (SO/Helena, Mont.) kill, Tanner Woods (SO/Huntington Beach, Calif.) ace, and Woods kill gave UJ the win.

Woods had 14 kills and hit .579, while Owens was a perfect 1.000 with nine kills. Correa passed out 28 assists and had four digs. Braden Neumann (SR/Costa Mesa, Calif.) had a team-best five digs, and Owens recorded five total blocks, including four solo.
