Roadrunners Begin Season With Rout Of Oakwood (Ala.)


DALTON, Ga. – Dalton State opened the season with swarming defense and an up-tempo offensive attack to come away with an 87-52 victory visiting Oakwood (Ala.) at Mashburn Arena on Saturday night.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • A combined three treys from C.J. Perry and Kevon Tucker keyed an opening 12-2 run that put the Roadrunners up by 10 just under six minutes into the game.
  • Dalton State extended the lead to 20 points at 24-4 after a Perry bucket that began with a steal off a full court press by Tucker with 7:11 remaining in the half.
  • The Roadrunners grew the lead to 27 points with 3:41 left in the half after Tucker hit the front end of two free throws.
  • DS carried a 45-17 lead into the half after a Tucker bucket with 22 seconds to go.
  • Extended the lead out to 37 points at 59-22 with a Jordan Young layup at the 14:26 mark of the second half.
  • A Randy Bell three-pointer with 5:31 left to play gave the Roadrunners their largest lead of the game at 43 points at 82-39.
  • Did not allow the lead to go below 34 points down the stretch as Dalton State cruised to a 35-point win.
 
THE REST OF THE STORY
Dalton State (Ga.) goes to (1-0 overall) with the win, while Oakwood (Ala.) falls to (0-1 overall) with the loss. Five Roadrunners scored in double-figures led by Jordan Young with 21 points. Young added 11 boards to complete the double-double in his first game in a DS uniform.
 
Rodley Adjei had 14 points, with Randy Bell putting in 13. Kevon Tucker and C.J. Perry had 12 and 10 respectively while combining for three triples. Bell snatched six steals, with Tucker adding four.
 
Oakwood was led in scoring by Milton Brown and Robert Booker with 11 points each. They were the only players in double-figures for the Ambassadors. Andre Brooks led Oakwood with 12 rebounds to go along with seven points.
