PORTALES, N.M.— Just weeks after taking over as the Eastern New Mexico University men’s basketball coach Andrew Helton, looking to make an immediate impact on the Greyhound roster for the 2009-10 season, inking Jordan Romero (G, 6-1, 170, Santa Fe, N.M./St. Michaels HS) to a National Letter of Intent. Romero should add plenty of championship experience to the roster, as he guided St. Michaels High School to three state championship appearances, earning two titles, along with an appearance in the state semifinals.
“We are very excited that Jordan will be a Greyhound.” Said Helton. “He brings a great feel for the game and comes from a very successful high school program. He is an excellent young man whose guard skills and work ethic will really benefit our program.”
As a five-year varsity player for the Horsemen, he guided the squad to 119 victories, garnering three all-state selections in the process. Last season, he concluded his career with 1,779 career point and led SMHS in scoring (16.1 ppg), rebounding (5.1 rpg), assists (3.5 apg) and steals (80). Romero’s effort lifted the Horsemen to a 46-41 victory over Pojoaque High School in the state semifinals, before falling to Hope Christian in the championship game. While competing at St. Michaels HS, he played for head coach Ron Geyer.
