Dega Pulls Away from DSC in Road Win

DALTON, Ga. – A strong and steady second half allowed the Talladega College men's basketball team to put down the Dalton State College Roadrunners 62-55 Saturday afternoon in Southern States Athletic Conference competition.
 
The Roadrunners (15-11, 10-8 SSAC) controlled the early portions of the matchup and scored the first five points of the matchup. Corey Sands provided the first points for the Tornadoes (11-15, 5-13 SSAC) at the 15:44 mark to cut the score to 5-2 on a jumper. Boubacar Kamissoko pushed the DSC lead to seven points, 11-4, with a jumper in the paint at 12:38 in the first.
 
Dega's offense powered up over the next two minutes with an 8-2 run to close the gap to 14-12 following a three-pointer by Wilfred Campbell IV. Dalton State pushed the lead to seven points once more with five minutes left after Franklin Almonte hit a shot to score 21-14. However, the Tornadoes took control with an 11-2 run capped by a jumper by Sands in the paint to send Dega to the locker room with a 26-23 advantage and the team's first lead of the game.
 
The first lead change was the only one of the game, as the Tornadoes never trailed again. Donavan Miller hit a jumper for Dalton State to bring the Roadrunners within one at 26-25. Ethelbert Anum responded with a two-pointer to extend the lead back to three points.
 
Anum extended the lead to 12 points with a jumper to give Dega a 42-30 advantage with 11:38 remaining in the game. Over the next 10 minutes, DSC cut the deficit down to three points once more following free throws by Almonte to move the score to 55-52. The three points were as close as the Roadrunners came because Dega put DSC away with a 10-3 run to close the contest and leave Georgia with a 62-55 victory.
