Southeast Christian Gets First Program Win

LEESBURG, Fl. – Southeast Christian College put five players in double figures and held off a feisty United International College squad in picking up the school’s first varsity men’s basketball win 83-81 Saturday afternoon.

“We only had eight (players) today, but that’s how I’ve always worked best,” said Eagles coach Dwayne Walker. “My big man is out and have one guard injured. The rest were ready to work. All the glory goes to the Lord!”

SECC (1-11 overall, 0-7 NSAC) was led by Carey Davis’ 23 points and eight rebounds. Karlton Walton followed with 17 points, Nesean Rhome added 16, Jordan Stevenson had 11, and Keywon Lister 10. The Eagles converted 31-of-69 shots from the floor for 44.9 percent and a hot 23-47 from 3 for 48.9 percent.

Makos Pick Up Two Wins in Leesburg

LEESBURG, Fl. – Lighthouse Christian made the most of its two-night junket to Leesburg, Florida, picking up NSAC wins over Beacon and Southeast Christian on consecutive nights.

The Makos (6-2 overall, 3-0 NSAC) fell behind early on Monday night to the Blazers, who played inspired ball and took an early six-point advantage, but a 12-0 LCC run put the Makos on top for good. After leading by as many as 20 points, Beacon (2-8, 1-1) chipped away to close the gap to 87-74 at the buzzer.

After playing Monday’s game on Southeast’s home floor, the Makos felt right at home on Tuesday night, jumping out to 7-0 and 14-4 advantages over the struggling Eagles (0-8, 0-5) and never looked back in cruising to a 105-68 victory.

The wins catapult Lighthouse to the top of the NSAC standings.

Rhome’s Double-Double Earns POTW honors

Southeast Christian College forward Naysean Rhome racked up a double-double performance this past Saturday. The transfer from Pasco-Hernando State scored 23 points to lead the Eagles against Trinity College of Florida on Saturday, as well as grabbing 14 boards. For his outstanding work, the sophomore from Eustis, Florida has been named the NSAC Men’s Basketball Player of the Week.

Congrats, Naysean!

Millers Pull Away to Take Tipoff Classic Crown

LEESBURG, FL – John Melvin (LA) led from start to finish in putting away Southeast Christian 99-49 and winning the NSAC Tipoff Classic Wednesday night.

The Millers (2-1 overall, 1-0 NSAC) led 40-20 at the half and continued to gain momentum throughout the game.

“It’s an honor to be a part of the first conference win in school history,” JMU coach Romel Bryant said after the game. “Seeing these players win the Tipoff Classic and develop as players is very humbling.”

Kaimauri Hodges led the Millers with 21 points. Tayshaun Colomb added 15 points and Kyle Roach contributed 12.

It was the first NSAC game for both teams who joined the league this year.

“We had a rough time tonight,” said Eagles coach Dwayne Walker. “We were missing a big, and we also had a lack of aggressive play on both sides of the ball. Way too many turnovers. I know our men will turn this around this upcoming week in Miami.”

Southeast (0-2, 0-1) travels back to South Florida for a rematch against UIC on November 8 and a conference matchup with Atlantis the following day. John Melvin continues its road trip with a game at Florida College on Thursday.
