Freed-Hardeman 83, Lambuth 61
Six Freed-Hardeman players scored at least eight points against a usually-stingy Lambuth defense Thursday, and the Lions extended their winning streak to 11 games with an 83-61 win.
The Lions (18-6) made seven of their 10 3-pointers in the second half, including three from senior point guard Shun Trevillian.
Two of Trevillian's 3-pointers aided a 15-4 run that helped FHU to a 66-42 lead with nine minutes remaining.
Before the run, Lambuth had hacked a 21-point edge to 13 at 51-38, but the Eagles didn't come any closer.
FHU's Jesse Moulton scored a game-high 16 points, inluding 4-of-6 from 3-point range.
"We do best when our scoring is spread out," said FHU coach Jason Shelton. "Our best player (Zack Frey) didn't even play that much, but I am glad we have a senior backup post like Tyler Jennings."
Jennings was the only other FHU scorer in double figures with 10 points, but Kristoffer Smith, Kirtiss Brown and Trevillian chipped in with nine points apiece.
Trevillian's third long-range bucket stretched the Lions' lead to 74-44, and FHU coasted to the win.
Lambuth struggled offensively with a 32 percent shooting effort, including just 2-of-20 from 3-point range.
Antawn Coby was the only Lambuth scorer in double figures with 11 points.
"Antawn is a special player, but we did a better job of playing help defense," Shelton said. "We made him give up the ball in the second half."
Lambuth won the earlier matchup in Henderson - the Lions' most recent loss.
"I think the main difference (with the) team is that we are just executing better," Shelton said. "We have 10 guys that have been in the program at least three years."
"We have worked with motion on offense, and 17 assists on 29 buckets (Thursday) isn't bad."
The Eagles (13-8) scored a season-low 61 points just a game after scoring a season-high 128 points against Blue Mountain.
FHU travels to Blue Mountain on Saturday, while Lambuth heads to Bethel on the same day.
