Dobbs "duo"
ink with Clayton State men’s basketball
Power forward, shooting guard become second
brother tandem ever in Laker basketball history
 MORROW,
Ga. – April 17, 2008 –
Fresh off an improbable, but amazing postseason
run to close out the season, Clayton State men’s
basketball head coach Gordon Gibbons began
reloading for the 2008-09 campaign on Wednesday
with the signing of brothers Jaquas and Juron
Dobbs. Jaquas Dobbs is a junior power forward
who comes to Clayton State from Truett-McConnell,
while Juron Dobbs is a freshman wing who is
coming off a stellar prep career at Heritage
High School in Conyers, Ga. They are the second
set of brothers to ever play together at Clayton
State, joining Ben and Ryan Amestoy, who played
for the Lakers from 1994-1996.

 AUGUSTA,
Ga. – March 18, 2008 – The
improbable, but memorable postseason run has
ended for the Clayton State Laker men’s
basketball team.
One game away from

Clayton State could not contain the scoring onslaught of Peach Belt
Conference rival Augusta State as the Jaguars knocked off the Lakers
89-72 on Monday at Augusta State’s Christenberry Fieldhouse. The
defeat ends Clayton State’s season at 19-15. However, the Lakers
have a lot to hang their hats on for this season. The Lakers came
out of nowhere to win the Peach Belt Conference Tournament
championship, followed by advancing to the "Sweet 16" of
the NCAA Division II National Tournament. See
