Birds Erase Double-Digit Deficit, Snag Road Win At Brewton-Parker


MOUNT VERNON, Ga. – The Dalton State Men's Basketball team trailed by double-digits midway through the second half but nailed some key baskets and had some timely defensive stops to motor back for a 69-64 road win over Brewton-Parker (Ga.) at Gillis Gymnasium in Mount Vernon on Monday afternoon.
 
THE FIRST HALF
  • Brewton-Parker jumped out to a 4-0 lead after a bucket and two free throws, but Jaelin Ferrell hit a three to close the gap to 1-point after two minutes of play.
  • Baskets from Sean Cobb and Carterius Evans gave the Roadrunners a short-lived 9-8 lead with 14:44 left in the half.
  • BP quickly re-took the lead and held it until Franklin Almonte hit a jumper for another quick lead for the Birds at 17-16 just short of the midway point of the period.
  • A 5-0 spurt from the Barons in response to the Almonte bucket saw them take the lead for good in the half as they got the lead to 10 points before taking an 8-point lead (40-32) into the half.
THE SECOND HALF
  • The Barons looked to take control of the game as they extended the lead to 10 points, then 13 points (49-36) after a Grant Sanders tip in with 15:22 left in regulation.
  • An and-1 play from Boubacar Kamissoko cut the lead to 10 points before Jaelin Ferrell hit a trey to get the deficit back to single digits at 51-44 with 12:01 on the clock.
  • Kamissoko hit two free throws before Evans reeled off 4-straight baskets to pull the game even at 54-54 with 5:21 remaining.
  • Cobb hit two more buckets, while Donavan Miller and Brad Milliorn got in on the action to help give the Roadrunners a 62-56 lead with 2:46 left to play.
  • Aaron Udell hit a three-pointer to cut the lead back to 3 points, but 5-straight from Jacquez Fountain grew the lead and capped the comeback as the Birds left Mount Vernon with a 69-64 win.
