LAURINBURG – A strong defensive effort and hot shooting from long range paced Davidson County Community College to a 111-85 win over the St. Andrews junior varsity on Monday night.
Kimani Hunt and Roderick Jeter each went 4-for-6 from the 3-point line, while Robbie Rives knocked down four of his nine shots from long range as the Storm shot 15-for-31 as a team. The shots fell because the Storm made the extra pass: “They passed up a good shot to get it to a teammate for a great shot,” praised coach Matt Ridge.
“We started getting stops, which led to our fastbreak,” Ridge continued. “We got a lot of open looks – not just layups, but 3s in transition, and it started on the defensive end with everybody playing together, cutting off penetration and blocking out and rebounding.”
Hunt finished with a team-high 24 points to go along with nine rebounds, while former Trinity standout Zack Williams added 21 points. Justin Glover picked up 15 points, Rives and Jeter each had 14, and Phillip Williams tacked on 11. In addition, Storm point guards A.J. Finney and Derrick Mayo each finished with eight assists and only two turnovers.
DCCC, now 8-3, travels to Pitt Community College on Wednesday before returning home Saturday at 3 p.m. against Southwest Virginia Community College.
