Knights Drop 2 Games to Georgia Perimeter

COCHRAN, Georgia (MGSC RELEASE) – The Middle Georgia State College women’s basketball team dropped another game at home putting their hopes of a playoff spot in jeopardy. After trailing 32-19 at halftime, the Knights went on a run in the second half that gave them a 48-47 lead with around 10 minutes remaining. From that point it was all Jaguars as the Knights ended up losing by 16 with a score of 75-59.

The Knights were led by Va’Queshia Hall with 21 points, 12 rebounds, and 3 blocks.

With only two games left, the Knights must win both to have a chance at the conference playoffs. The team currently sits one game behind Andrew College which played Atlanta Metro Wednesday night and no score is reported at the moment. A loss by Andrew puts the Knights a half game out of the 9th spot but play last place Chattahoochee Tech Friday and undefeated Central Georgia Tech Saturday. Andrew only has a Saturday matchup with 2 seed Georgia Highlands.

The Knights play Chattahoochee Tech at 1pm in Cochran Friday. Follow the game on Twitter @MGSCKnights.

Men’s Basketball Loses Tough Game to Georgia Perimeter

The MGSC men’s basketball team lost a close game to Georgia Perimeter Wednesday. Trailing by 7 at halftime, the Knights and Jaguars traded the lead seven times throughout the game. With a minute left in the game, the game was tied at 66 but the Jaguars got a three to take the lead. After an incident that resulted in one player from each team being ejected for dead ball contact, the Knights could not pick up another bucket until a free throw that was awarded right before the buzzer and a final score of 71-67.

The Knights were led by Roshaun Milline with 22 points while Jamaal Anderson and Brandon Ingleton each had 10. Rashard Flint grabbed 11 rebounds in the loss.

With three games remaining for the Knights, the loss hurt the Knights chances of making the conference tournament as they fell three games out of the 8th spot and would need Georgia Perimeter to lose their last 2 games against top seed South Georgia Tech and 2 seed Chattahoochee Tech while Gordon still has four games remaining including one against the Knights and one against Chattahoochee Tech along with games against South Georgia State (9-7) and East Georgia State (9-8).

The Knights next game is Friday against Chattahoochee Tech at 3pm at Morris gym Follow Twitter @MGSCKnights for updates.
