Severn fought back towards the end of the half, but BCC’s inside presence created too much separation on the scoreboard. BCC was up at the half 38-25.

However, Price’s efforts weren’t enough as Adam Strong-Jacobson continued to play well in the paint, finishing the game with 16 points on 6-9 shooting, and forward Carson Griffey (‘24) finished the game with 16 on an impressive 7-8 shooting from the field. One thing that stands out about these two is they both finished with 16 points and 7 rebounds. They are a testament to “iron sharpens iron.”
