GC men stun Raptors before upset loss to FCC
Tigney provides key spark; Wilson tallies 21 in win over Montgomery
McHenry, MD - The Lakers needed a spark Saturday afternoon – and Kobe Tigney was only too happy to provide it.
Tigney's 16 points against Montgomery College include 6 straight points after the Raptors built an early, 7-point advantage. Garrett College head coach Matt McCullough said Tigney's early contributors played a pivotal role in the Lakers' 87-81 men's basketball victory.
"Kobe Tigney really helped jump-start us with his play in the first half," said McCullough. "He had 3 straight baskets when we were struggling early that quickly got us back in the game."
Jhaiden Wilson and Darius Jones did their parts, too, scoring 21 and 20, respectively, for the Lakers, who built a 44-36 halftime advantage. Terrance Ward added 14 points and Lamont Powell chipped in with 11 as 5 Lakers reached double digits.
Ezekiel Edwards scored 6 points, blocked 6 shots, and pulled down 10 rebounds for GC.
Marlon Pratt had a game-high 26 points for the Raptors while teammates Romareo Pierre and Sanu Basu added 15 and 11 points, respectively.
