Webb sparkles for Mustangs in romp

Sat - 02 Nov Written by Jim Ecker

The Mount Mercy Mustangs have a new point guard, a new off-guard, a new small forward, a new power forward and a new center.

His name is RoyShawn Webb.

Webb, a 6-foot-2 bundle of talent, can literally play all five spots on the floor. He can run the offense, score, rebound, dunk and guard just about anyone.

"Wherever Coach wants me to be, to put us in the best position to win, that's where I'm going to be," he said Saturday.

Webb scored 17 points, snared six rebounds, made three steals, dished out two assists and had two crowd-pleasing dunks as the Mustangs rolled by Maranatha Baptist, 110-51, in the home opener at the Hennessey Recreation Center.

"We need him to be aggressive and be himself," said Mount Mercy Coach Aaron Jennings. "I think he's going to be very good for us."
