Sinclair Pride wins opener 86-52

The Sinclair Pride men’s basketball team defeated Cedarville University’s JV team, 86-52, to open their season on Tuesday, Nov. 3.

Sophomore forward British Alexander led the Pride with 13 points and sophomore guard Kevin Vest led the team with 7 assists. In total, the Pride had five players score in double figures and received 45 points from their bench.

“It wasn’t a one man show,” said Head Coach Jeff Price. “This was a team win.”

The Pride’s defense collected 17 steals and 37 deflections, according to Price. Price said he was particularly impressed by the team’s low turnover total.

“I thought we protected the ball very well. We only had seven turnovers,” Price said. “In my time here, I can’t remember a time when we’ve only had seven turnovers, especially with the way we push the ball up the floor.”

The Pride’s next home game will be on Wednesday, Nov. 11 at 7:30 p.m. All Sinclair students get in for free.
