Adams, Small to play final home games after coming back for 5th year

Terrence Johnson was surprised by Shelby Adams and Isiah Small’s decisions to come back to Texas State.

But what hasn’t surprised the Bobcats’ head coach is where the pair of fifth-year seniors has led the team heading into the final home games of the year.

After the end of the 2020-21 season, the maroon and gold had four players with one year of eligibility left: Adams, Small, Marlin Davis and Quentin Scott. The extra year was made available to the seniors by the NCAA after the COVID-19 pandemic cut the 2019-20 season short.
