Shead, Bobcats outlast Appalachian State to snap losing streak

Jaylen Shead made his living Thursday night driving to the hoop and finishing off the glass. 

The junior guard didn’t lead Texas State in scoring but he made his presence felt with 15 points, four assists and four steals to help the Bobcats defeat Appalachian State, 74-71. 

“A lot of times a lot of people back up off of me because, not saying I can’t shoot, but that’s not what I prefer to do,” Shead said. “I’d rather get to the basket. And me and the coaches have just been working on finding the right angles to go downhill and go and do what I do best.”
