            Hannibal, Mo. – Looking to start 2-0 in the American Midwest Conference for the second straight season, Central Baptist College men's basketball took on the Trojans of Hannibal-LaGrange at the Mabee Sports Complex this afternoon. CBC (4-7, 2-0 AMC) dominated the game, leading wire-to-wire to defeat HLGU (2-9, 0-2 AMC).

GAME FLOW

            Neither team scored for the first 1:50 of the game before a Justin Van Pelt layup gave the Mustangs in early 2-0 lead. That layup sparked a 15-0 that lasted until the 11:00 mark of the first half and put the game away early. CBC would lead 30-12 at the half and started the second half on an 11-0 run to lead 41-12 with 17:08 left.

            HLGU then scored four points sandwiched by a Niles Smith three before CBC went on a run again, this time of the 8-0 variety to lead 52-16 with 12 minutes left. HLGU would outscore CBC 14-9 over the final 12 minutes, but the game had already been decided.

GAME NOTES

  • Mayan Kiir led the way in scoring, putting in 17 for the Mustangs, including 13 in the second half
  • Kelvin Robinson chipped in with 11
  • Justin Van Pelt had a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds
  • CBC shot 39 percent from the field and grabbed 45 rebounds while holding HLGU to just 22 percent shooting and 29 rebounds
  • This was the 10th straight win against the Trojans and the 28 points was the fewest ever allowed by CBC against HLGU
  • 28 points is the fewest ever allowed by the Mustangs in a game and breaks two records. The previous record for fewest points allowed was 35 against Messenger College in 2007 and the fewest points ever allowed against an AMC opponent which was 47 against UHSP in 2015
