Stillman men win on barrage of 3s

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama | The Stillman College Tigers didn’t look past the last-place Lane Dragons, defeating them soundly 98-79 and extended their winning streak to three in a row. “At this point, anybody can beat anybody and we can’t overlook anyone,” Stillman coach Michael Grant said. “They beat us earlier this year at Lane.”

The Tigers (14-10, 12-10 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference) were led by Damian Ford’s 25 points and 12 rebounds. Ladarius Rhone also had a double-double with 11 points and 15 boards. Jeffery Wherry scored 18, including 5-for-7 shooting from 3-point range, and Torrean Walker added 16 off the bench.

The Tigers started hot, especially from long range. Fifteen of Stillman’s first 18 points came from 3-point range, and seven minutes into the game, Stillman led by 20. The big lead did not last for long, as the Dragons answered right back with 12 unanswered points to cut the lead back to single digits. The Tigers let Lane get as close as five before pushing their lead to 13 going into halftime.
