Owls Win First Game of the Season 76-74

Annapolis - The Prince George's Community College Men's Basketball Team knew that the season opener was going to be a challenge and were very prepared to hold off a hot shooting Navy JV team.  Although this is a Junior Varsity team, their top 3 players are members of the Navy Midshipmen Division 1 varsity team.  PGCC started out slow and got down 7-0 in the first 5 minutes of the contest.  After a timeout, they came out with a renewed energy and were able to force the Midshipmen into a lot of turnovers.  PGCC converted several steals into layups and were able to secure a 45-35 halftime lead. 

PGCC started the second half on fire and then relaxed and gave away a 15 point lead.  Navy had an opportunity to tie/win the game with 9 seconds but were unable to get a shot off.

Tyler Logan and NieRonn Miles led the Owls with 20 points apiece.  Lamont Short posted an amazing 10 steals and 2 charges while DeAndre Leatherwood had 7 points and 5 blocks.

The Owls will host Pitt Community College, NC on Saturday, November 10th at 4pm.

GO OWLS!!!
