GA Highlands Pulls Away To Give CTC First Conference Loss

Emerson, Ga. – Chattahoochee Tech hosted its first GCAA conference games of the season at LakePoint on Wednesday, and the men dropped an 87-69 game to an undefeated GHC squad.

The Golden Eagles (13-3, 1-1) stayed close with NJCAA Division I No. 3 Georgia Highlands (18-0, 5-0) through the first 10 minutes of play, but the Chargers broke away from there to hold a 49-27 halftime lead. The Golden Eagles got 18 points and eight rebounds from both Jamion Simpson and Keith Ray, the latter also adding five assists and two blocks.

Jalen Mitchell had 10 points for CTC, and Ben Drake had seven points and seven rebounds. Both Malik Jordan and Philip Garner had six points, and Nkem Ojeh came off the bench to block five shots and get two steals.

GHC got a game-high 25 points from Stetson University transfer Ty Cockfield. The Golden Eagles are back in action this Sunday, Jan. 22, hosting home games at Reinhardt University against conference foe South Georgia State. The women tip off at 2:30 p.m., and the men follow at 4:30.
