Raptors Pull Away Late; Defeat Dragons 85-68

The Howard CC men's basketball team were unable to build off their win the previous day as they fell to the Montgomery College Raptors 85-68. The loss puts the Dragons at 4-17 on the year and 1-10  in conference.

HCC had the Raptors fearing an upset for the first 35 minutes of the game before falling apart down the stretch. In fact, the Dragons would have had a first half lead if not for a buzzer beating 3-pointer for the Raptors. The Dragons gave up 40 points in the paint on the day as they were unable to properly deal with the Raptors size and strength inside. 

The best weapon that HCC had on the night was the long ball as they were able to make 15-35 shots from behind the arc. This effort was lead by Gregory Ash Jr. (West Baltimore, MD, Northwestern HS) who was 5-7 from 3-point land finishing the game with 20 points. Ryan Jackson (Baltimore, MD, Milford Mill Academy) dropped three of his own on his way to 14 points and John Grant Jr. (Baltimore, MD, Baltimore City HS) also hit three for 13 points along with 8 rebounds and 2 assists.

The Dragons will next travel to the College of Southern Maryland on Tuesday February 2nd at 7 PM.
