"Campground Cats" 6-0

Nicknamed the "Campground Cats", the Bishop State men's basketball team head into the Thanksgiving break with an 83-49 win over Coastal Alabama-North, sporting a 6-0 record. The Wildcats struggled early as 6'10" center Darrion Salery picked up two quick fouls on a blown defensive assignment by the team, and a deep shot that led to a long rebound and leak out for Coastal Alabama-North. It was a low scoring game in the first two minutes as neither team could find the cup. Coastal Alabama-North took their only lead of the game as they led 4-3 at 17:49. Seth Granberry buried a three at the 17:06 mark and the Wildcats led from there on out. Several highlight dunks from Joseph Frazier and Dasean Sellers helped push the lead to double figures, but a few missed shots allowed the Eagles to close the gap to within 5. Kevin Kogbara entered the game adding instant offense along with Kaymen Brown that pushed the Wildcats lead to 13, 39-26, heading into halftime.

Right out of the gate to start the second half, Seth Grandberry knocked down a mid-range pull up, and then a three assisted by Joseph Frazier that opened the flood gates. The Wildcats led by as many as 38 points, 77-39, with everyone playing except for Bryson Colbert (illness). 12 of the 15 guys scored as the Wildcats had only one player in double figures, Seth Grandberry's 15 points. It was a well balanced attack and the Wildcats dominated the glass, outrebounding the Eagles 46-28. Michael Kinnard, the team's leading rebounder, led the way with 8 rebounds.

The Bishop State Men's Basketball team will come back after Thanksgiving break with another home matchup vs University of Mobile JV on Wednesday, November 29th at 7:30 pm.
