In the fourth quarter Capital City could not withstand the defensive heat. The Skyhawks close on 6-0 run, and walked away with another home win.

Five Skyhawks players scored in double digits. Cat Barber led the team in scoring 28 points.

Two way player Charlie Brown, Jr. collected 24 points.

Brandon Goodwin added 22 points. Marcus Derrickson gathered 21 points. Nick Ward and Tahjere McCall put 16 and 10 points, on the board to round out the scoring effort. 

 

“We talked about taking care of business winning at home,” said Head Coach Noel Gillespie at the post game presser. “Beating a division opponent. We are 1-1 right now (over) Capital City but 2-1 at home and 2-1 overall. Just in the locker room it’s a good feeling. Winning is fun, winning is contagious, winning taste good…”
