SEMO PRODUCT ALBERT WHITE TO PLAY BASKETBALL OVERSEAS

Former Southeast Missouri State University basketball star Calvert White will be playing in the professional ranks soon.

The 6-4 White recently signed a contract to play for a pro team in Holland. The season is scheduled to begin early next week.

A native of the Virgin Islands, White played two seasons for the Indians after transferring from Southeastern Illinois Community College.

White made the Ohio Valley Conference All-Newcomer Team during the 1996-97 season, then was one of the Indians' top players as a senior on coach Gary Garner's first Southeast team in 1997-98.

For the team in Holland, White will be playing with another Southeast product, Eelco Derks, who has played for the squad in his native land for the past several seasons.
