Emerson, Ga.–The Chattahoochee Tech men fell in a GCAA game to Gordon State 73-56 on Wednesday night at LakePoint Sporting Community, continuing a tough stretch in which they have dropped four conference games in eight days.
The Golden Eagles (13-6, 1-4) had numerous chances to cut the Gordon State lead to under 10 in the last 10 minutes of the game, but 4-of-26 shooting on three-pointers doomed them against the Highlanders. Chattahoochee Tech got another tough performance from point guard Jamion Simpson, who played all 40 minutes on Wednesday night, scoring 15 points, dishing seven assists and grabbing five rebounds.
Jalen Mitchell had an efficient game, going 6-of-12 from the field for 15 points while getting six rebounds. Nkem Ojeh also shot 50 percent from the field, 3-of-6 for seven points with four rebounds and two blocks. Jeremiah Shaw also added seven points.
Chatt Tech scored the first seven points of the game but trailed 36-34 at halftime after a Derek St. Hilaire (game-high 27 pts) buzzer-beating three-pointer. The Golden Eagles were playing a back-to-back in which they had traveled to South Georgia Tech the previous night.
The teams will be back in action this Saturday at East Georgia State in Swainsboro, with the men scheduled to tip off at 4 p.m.
