HCC Basketball Drops Opener in NC 106-88

The HCC men's basketball team kicked off the 2015-2016 winter season with a tough loss against Sandhills Community College by the score of 106-88. The game was played as part of a weekend tournament hosted by Louisburg College in North Carolina as the Dragons appeared to struggle with the long travel day.

HCC's leading scorer on the day was sophomore transfer Juwan Grant (Baltimore, MD, Baltimore City HS) as he put in 31 points on 10-33 shooting along with 11 rebounds to get a nice double-double along with 2 blocks. His twin brother John Grant Jr. (Baltimore, MD, Baltimore City HS) also had a nice debut for HCC as he added 9 points and 6 rebounds. 

Walk-on turned starter J.P. Herbert (Gaithersburg, MD, Gaithersburg HS) played very well with 14 points on 6-8 to pair with his 7 rebounds and 2 assists as he started his college career making his first 6 shots in a row. Starting point guard Gregory Ash Jr. (West Baltimore, MD, Northwestern HS) showed off his versatility with 13 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 blocks on the day.

The Dragons were able to put in a strong performance in the first half with a 46-45 lead at the break, but Sandhills CC came out hot in the 2nd half and the Dragons were unable to keep up the pace. 

HCC will have a quick turnaround as they take on host Louisburg College on Saturday October 31st, tip-off is scheduled for 6:00 PM.
