Game Update

Opponent: Bryant & Stratton College (11/14/15)

Result: Lost 70-59

Overall Record: 1-4

Key Performers: Kaleel Walton (Western Guilford HS) 14 pts, 6 reb; Rick Djikpor (Northern Guilford HS) 9 pts, 6 reb, 3 blocks, 3 assists.

Comments: In a well defended game by both teams, B & S took a 33-27 lead into the break. The second half was more of the same, but GTCC was able to tie the score at 54 with five minutes remaining. Several missed free throws down the stretch, and a couple of shots that went in and out, proved too much to overcome for the Titans vs the 14th ranked team in the nation.
