INSIDE THE BOXSCORE

Chowan picked up personal bests from local talent Israel Powell and freshman Markell Hollis. Powell scored 17 points after a 6-10 performance from the floor. The Hawks took a 50-37 lead into the halftime period after draining 55% of their shots taken from the floor, including five made three pointers. Barton clawed their way back into the game in the second half, even pulling ahead by a point with just under ten minutes to play in the game. The offensive combination of Summers, Powell, and Hollis late in the game helped the Hawks spread the lead and get the eventual 89-82 league win. Hollis pitched in 13 points off the bench on a 5-7 shooting performance. 

William Hynes came up with a key stop in the final minute of play when he blocked a Barton layup and quickly found an open Summers, who then converted to free throws to help ice the win. Hynes played a balanced game on both ends of the court with 7 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, and 3 steals. Eric Gordon Jr. also scored in double-figures for the sixth time this season. The guard scored 16 points, had a team-high 4 assists, and 2 steals. Damien Robinson chipped in 9 points and grabbed 7 boards in the win.
