Five Minutes With Derek Wright .. Austin Peay's Star Guard

 

For the last four years, senior guard Derek Wright has been a starter and major contributor for APSU and will graduate as one of the school's all-time leaders in assists and steals. The Governors have won 6 of 7 games in large part to the solid play of their point guard, and are neck and neck with SEMO for the OVC title.
