Lions Stifle the Bobcats in Close Game

DETROIT – The cold outside couldn't stop the action from heating up inside The Dearborn Academy as the Community Christian College Men's Basketball team defeated Bryant & Stratton (OH), 87-85.

Three of five starters scored in double figures, with Trey West leading the way off the bench with 27 points. Shauntez Cain played excellent in the first half, scoring 9 of his 11 points and pulling down 8 rebounds throughout the evening.

West capped off his 13th point of the evening going into the 2nd half with a corner three from outside. The Bobcats wouldn't go away, climbing back to make it a 4-point lead for DC3 at halftime.

Towards the end of the game, tied at 85 apiece, DaiQuan Coach drove through the lane with seconds to go, and made a tough layup through contact to take a 2-point lead with 6 seconds left. After a timeout, a driving layup from the Bobcats would rim out, and solidify the win in the closest game of the season at home for DC3.

Coach finished with 11 points, 2 assists, and 4 steals, while Willie Williams finished with 10 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists.
