The DCCC Storm defeated Wytheville CC (WCC) in its season opener on Sunday, November 1. The final score was 90-82. Our men were excited to get the season underway. For a select few (Phillip Williams, Eric Potts and Rico Geter), it was the beginning of their sophomore season; for the rest of the team, it was the beginning of their college careers. Our guys used the crowd's energy and their excitement to jump out to an early lead in the first half (21-9). The first game jitters and mistakes caught up with us as WCC stayed poised and chipped away at the deficit until WCC took a 34-30 lead, which they took into the half. After Coach Ridge delivered a very pointed halftime speech, our guys went out in the second half and played tougher. WCC was excited to be in the game and continued to play well, but in the end, the Storm was victorious. The team won with a final score of 90-82. Rico Geter was our team's leading scorer finishing with 19. Zack Williams (17), Justin Glover (15) and Phillip Williams (13) also contributed major point contributions to our team's victory. Also, I wanted to congratulate Kimani for his efforts on the boards! He finished with 10! Keep up the great effort guys!
GO STORM!!
