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 — Xavier Rogers of Denton, Texas,
and John Gibson of Marietta, Ga., have signed men's basketball scholarships with Xavier University of Louisiana.
The Gold Rush have signed three for the 2012-13 academic year.
Rogers, a 6-foot-2 guard, will have two seasons of
eligibility at Xavier after transferring from NCAA Division I member
Grambling State University. Rogers averaged 8.6 points, 2.5 rebounds and
1.6 assists in 25 games with the Tigers in 2011-12. He made 39 3-pointers —
six against Alabama State on March 1, five against Texas Tech on Dec. 18 — and was Grambling's second-leading

the season. Rogers averaged 2.3 points in 13 games for Lee College,
a two-year school in Baytown, Texas, as a freshman in 2010-11.
Rogers was a three-year varsity starter for Lake Dallas
High School of Corinth, Texas, and was first-team all-district his final
two seasons. As a senior he made the Denton Record-Chronicle All-Area third-team
after averaging 11.4 points and making 52 3-pointers.
Gibson, a 6-foot-7 forward, averaged 9.8 points, 7.9 rebounds
and 3.1 blocked shots as a senior in 2011-12 — his first season as a varsity starter — at Walton High School.
His single-game highs included 19 points, 12 rebounds, and six blocks.
"John is an extremely hard-working kid," Walton coach
Joseph Goydish said. "He is dedicated to constantly improving his game. He is a
great teammate and a great student."
Gibson will major in business management at Xavier, and
Rogers will be a pre-pharmacy major.
Guard RJ Daniels of New Orleans signed with the Gold
Rush in November. Daniels helped St. Augustine finish second in the Class 4A state
playoffs this year.
Xavier was 23-9 this past season, shared the Gulf Coast Athletic
Conference regular-season championship, qualified for the second straight year for the Buffalo Funds-NAIA Division
I National Championship and ranked 24th in the postseason coaches poll.
