RICHMOND, Virginia -- J.C. Smith was more than up to the task of playing two games and a 300-mile bus ride over a 24-hour stretch.The Golden Bulls made the most of their return home after traveling six hours from Richmond, Va., with an 88-69 win against CIAA foe Chowan Thursday at Brayboy Gym. J.C. Smith, which beat Virginia Union on Wednesday, trailed 3-0 after Chowan’s opening possession but immediately went to work on its second straight win.
“That’s a part of that maturity development,” Golden Bulls coach Steve Joyner said. “How to play teams with strong reputations, teams with not so strong reputations and how to mature regardless of the circumstances or situation.”
J.C. Smith (9-5, 2-2 CIAA) showed plenty of maturity, connecting on 54 percent of its shots and outscoring Chowan 52-32 in the paint. Four Golden Bulls reached double-digits, led by point guard Trevin Parks’ 23 points on 9-of-15 shooting and forward Emilio Parks’ 19 on 6-of-9 accuracy. Forwards Robert Williams and Terrance Washington combined for 18 and 15 points respectively on 14-of-17 shooting as J.C. Smith balanced its inside scoring with perimeter punch when needed.
