Jamestown Men Win, Walters Leads with Double Double and Rebounding

The University of Jamestown men’s basketball team picked up an 85 to 75 home victory over Bismarck State College at Harold Newman Arena on November 18, 2025. Junior guard and forward Anthony Walters led the Jimmies with a 25 point, 10 rebound double double, including six three pointers, while Cole Glasgow added seven assists as the team improved to 2 and 1 on the season.

Jamestown dominated the glass, owning a 42 to 38 edge in rebounding and collecting 22 offensive rebounds that translated into second chance scoring throughout the contest. The Jimmies shot 41.3 percent as a team and attempted 15 three pointers. The win followed with a scheduled road contest at North Dakota State on November 19.

Beyond the box score, the game matters to Stutsman County residents because collegiate athletics serve as a focal point for community gathering, local spending, and youth inspiration. Home games at Harold Newman Arena bring fans to campus, support vendors and area businesses, and create opportunities for families to engage in shared activity. For students and athletes, competitive seasons also intersect with physical and mental health needs that require reliable campus health services and injury prevention programs.

The performance highlights the role of university sports in promoting physical activity and community cohesion, while also prompting conversations about equity in access to recreational programs. Ensuring that arts recreation and health resources are available to all local residents, not only those who play at the collegiate level, can maximize the public health benefits of sport and reduce disparities in opportunities for youth development.

As Jamestown builds on balanced scoring and strong rebounding, local leaders and campus officials may consider how investments in athletic facilities, community outreach and student health services can support both competitive success and broader community well being. The Jimmies’ win is a moment of pride, and it also underscores the connection between sport, health, and social equity in Stutsman County.
