ALMA MATER
In the Mississippi Valley,
In the Crescent Bend
Stands our loved and noble Xavier,
Far her praises send.
Refrain:
Wave her colors bear them onward
Gold and white so true
Hail to thee, all hail, dear Xavier
Hail, all hail, X.U.!
Xavier, ever be our guide
And lead us on the way,
Through life's journey, onward, upward
To the eternal day. (Refrain)

NEW ORLEANS — Whitney Gathright of New Orleans,
the starting point guard for two state-championship teams at John Curtis
Christian School, is Xavier University of Louisiana's first women's basketball
signee for 2012-13.
Gathright, who is 5 feet 4 inches tall,
signed a scholarship Wednesday afternoon at Curtis in suburban River Ridge, La.
Gathright averaged 8.9 points, 4.1 assists, 3.5 rebounds
and 2.7 steals for Curtis this past season. She averaged 13 points in five
playoff games and led Curtis with 14 points
in the Patriots' 55-42 victory against Iota in the Class 2A championship game March 10.
Curtis finished 34-1 and won its final 22 games.
As a freshman in 2009 she averaged 11.8 points in five
playoff games and had 10 points and four assists in the Patriots' 51-41 victory
against South Beauregard in the 2A championship game.
In each of her final three seasons she was selected to The Times-Picayune's All-Metro small
schools team and earned 2A All-State honorable mention. Curtis was 115-
|
20 during her tenure, and she recorded 1,295 points (9.8 average) and 393 assists (3.0) in 132 games.
In Gathright's final two seasons she made 38.6 percent of her 3-pointers (93-of-241) and
77.4 percent of her free throws (127-of-164).
Xavier will replace five seniors from this past season.
Coach Bo Browder's Gold Nuggets were 26-9 in 2011-12, won Gulf Coast Athletic
Conference regular-season and tournament championships and, for the second consecutive year, reached the second
round of the NAIA Division I National Championship. The GCAC Tournament title
was the Nuggets' third in a row.
