BATESVILLE – In their first game ever as a ranked team, the No. 22 Central Baptist College men’s basketball team took on American Midwest Conference opponent Lyon College. CBC (18-5, 14-4) overcame a three-point halftime deficit to beat the Scots (12-14, 9-9 AMC) 71-65.
Da’Jon Streeter (JR/Niagara Falls, N.Y.) posted a season-high in points and Victor Dukes (JR/Jonesboro, Ark.) would again be the leading rebounder. CBC won despite being outrebounded for one of the few times this season.
“Lyon is extremely well-coached and very tough, they are a hard matchup for us,” said head coach Chris Wright. “They controlled the game for a big stretch of it, but in the end our guys made enough plays to find a way to win.”
MUSTANG NOTES
- Streeter scored a season-high 27 points, including going 13-16 at the free throw line
- Dukes, the current AMC player of the week, had seven rebounds to lead the way
- CBC was able to force Lyon into 20 turnovers while only committing 11 themselves
SCOT NOTES
- Spencer Brown had 21 points to lead Lyon
- Justus Narusus led Lyon with six rebounds
