CHS opens with a pair of victories

From Staff Reports

Christian Heritage’s Lions and Lady Lions successfully opened their basketball seasons Tuesday night with victories over visiting Georgia Cumberland.

The Lions had a much tougher time winning than the Lady Lions did.

Christian Heritage got 27 points from Will Clark, Landon McClure added 26 and the Lions held off Georgia Cumberland, 69-67, despite missing 10 of 26 free throws, eight in the fourth quarter.

Georgia Cumberland stayed close by making 9 of 11 in the final eight minutes.

“Still, it was a good win after we only had one practice with our football guys,” Lions coach Chad Woodson said.

Terrell Wilson added 12 points for Christian Heritage. Isaac Nwadike and Kayne Leeper each scored 18 points for Georgia Cumberland.

• Christian Heritage girls 70, Georgia Cumberland 20: Maggie Peeples scored 17 points and added six rebounds and six assists for the Lady Lions. Caty Nagel finished with 14 points and 10 rebounds while Meg Crawford was also in double figures with 10 points.

Bradley Townsend and Kathryn Green each had eight points.

“I think it was a good game for us to see how we would play against somebody else,” Christian Heritage coach Heather Lowery said.

The Lady Lions led 23-4 after one quarter and cruised to the easy win.

Brandi Taylor led Georgia Cumberland with six points.

• Murray County’s Indians got in their preseason scrimmage at Polk County, beating the Wildcats, 78-39, behind Taylor Patterson’s 16 points.
