The men’s basketball game was much more competitive with the Patriots going into halftime down by 1 point. However, they were able to fight back and avenge their previous loss to the Knights with a final score of 84-71. Maurice Walker led the Patriots in scoring 21 points, shooting 70% from the field. Da’Vione Stafford was second in scoring with 20 points, shooting over 50% from the field. Jamar McCray tied Walker and Stafford for a team-high in rebounds with 7, and added 10 points himself. Gage Hulse and Cameron Smith each added 11 points. Hulse also dished out 7 assists for a team-high.

Both men’s and women’s basketball teams will wrap up with regular season with two away games. First against Dallas Christian College on Friday, and then against Randall University on Saturday. GO PATRIOTS!
