She also netted 6 points and two steals.
Freshman standout Jackie Shelton continued to impress
the home crowd with 13 pomts and 5 rebounds off the bench.
If she keeps this up, she could even possibly gain a spot on the
All-S AC team as a reserve. Respect is one thing you have to
earn, and the Lady Lions earned their fair share of it during
the evening.
Men’s Action
The outcome of the men’s game was a little less doubtful.
Whereas some boastfully predicted a 15-point victory against
the Bulldogs, the final score was actually a 25-point victory,
91 to 66. Defense was the key to the Lion’s victory.
Wingate appeared to head for an upset when they took a
41-38 halftime lead despite 8-0 and 9-0 runs by Mars Hill
during that half.
However, with 15:48 left in the game. Mars Hill took
control with the second consecutive three-point jumpier from
Lamont Jones (wlio is among the Division B leaders in
three-pxiint field god piercentage) to make the score 50-45.
Jones also improved his conference-leading
pioints-scored-pier-game average with 21 pxiints in 32 minutes.
Reserve center Mike Helvy played a big second half in the
paint pulling down 4 tough rebounds and scoring 5 free
throws when they were needed the most.
Cedric Mansell’s 18 point, 6 block, 6 rebound night was
punctuated by a slam dunk with three and a half minutes left
to play.
6’3" sophomore guard, Glen Hayes turned in an 11 point,
7 reboimd performance, and Richard Medford chipped in
another 11 pioints on 5 for 7 shooting. Guard Matt Hurst had
a good night with 7 points and 7 assists.
Every player on the Lions team scored by the end of the
match. Robert Chambers, with two and a half minutes left,
was the last to be put in and rounded out the team with a
crowd-erupting jumpier.
