In the most complete game they have played all season, the PHCC Patriots stormed their way through the Region opener on Wednesday night against Johnston Community College 105-41 at Stone Hall. Marvin Brooks led all scorers with 24 points and 11 boards on the night.
The Patriots stomped out to a 24-2 lead early in the contest and never looked back. At the half were up 52-22 and after a 6-0 run by the Jaguars to start the second frame, the Patriots went 19 points in a row before the Jags were able to reach into the 30’s. Montrel Sims was the lone bright spot for JCC as he had 13 points, including nine of the team’s first 15.
PHCC is now 6-3 on the year and are currently riding a 3-game win streak. They continue Region X play on Saturday afternoon at 3 PM against Lenoir Community College from Lenoir, NC, in what will be a much tougher game according to head coach Chuck Moore.
Coach Moore will be joining Southside Connection today at 5:20 to talk about the rout and Saturday’s contest, and ESPN 1160 will bring full coverage of the Patriots game at Stone Hall on Saturday afternoon beginning at 2:45.
