Smyrna, GA - Nov. 17, 2014 - Nip and tuck the first 14 minutes of the game, the Golden Eagles made a run to close the first half with a spread it was able use in the second half to hold off visiting Chattanooga State for a good 88-75 win at the Smyrna Community Center on Monday night.
The lead swayed back and forth most of the opening half, but the Eagles got several big stops and converted with big baskets from Zach Landis and Elijah Robinson, to take a 46-36 lead into the intermission.
In the second half, the Eagles came out firing, as Landis, AJ Mosby and Carl Washington all drilling three pointers. The only problem was Chatt State was scoring as well, and baskets were being traded. CTC managed to build on it's lead to as high as 17 at one point. But, Chatt State changed it's defensive approach and made strong run, forcing the Eagles into ill advised shot attempts, while hitting four threes of their own to suddenly cut their deficit down to five with about 4 minutes remaining in the game. However, CTC made its own adjustments and were able to get several big buckets down the stretch to seal the win.
Landis turned in a monster effort with 25 points, 11 rebounds, seven steals and five steals, while AJ Mosby finished with 12 points. Robinson had 11 points and eight rebounds, along with two big blocks.
The Eagles, now 5-0 on the season, will face off against Gadsden State in the GA/AL Clash at Georgia Highlands on Saturday. Tip off is set for 12 noon.
