BELLEVILLE

The SWIC men’s basketball program signed Oliver Stephen, of Edwardsville, and Braden Fitzjerrells, of Mount Vernon, for the 2017-18 season.

Fitzjerrells spent the past season playing for Lindenwood-Belleville, average 7.2 points a game.

Stephen average 13.6 points a game for the Tigers this past season and shot 59 percent from 3-point range.

“Oliver comes from a great program at Edwardsville and he can just really shoot it from the perimeter,” SWIC coach Jay Harrington said. “I know people say he’s one-dimensional but in watching him play with his AAU team I don’t think think he is.”
