Durham -     The Bull City Legacy welcomed the High Point Heat to Walltown Recreational Center for a mid-afternoon match up in the Tobacco Road Basketball league. The Legacy got off to a great start, but let an eight point lead slip away, and found themselves trailing after the first quarter. High Point was on fire from behind the arc, connecting on five 3-pointers in the first quarter, to take a 35-32 lead.  

There was a scary moment in the second quarter.  Legacy guard J'mell Walters (NCCU) took a hard fall after a layup and suffered a mild concussion. The Legacy used Walters injury as a rallying cry.  Bull City started to "heat" up - no pun intended - and out scored High Point by 17 points in the second quarter, to lead 71-57 at the half. 

Raymond McKeithen (Greenville State) pumped in 23 points and pulled down six rebounds, while Tim Plummer (Fayetteville State) recorded a double double, 15 points 10 rebounds, and Bull City had seven players score in double figures. The result, a 127-114 Legacy victory.  

High Point connected on sixteen 3-pointers, led by Jarrett Johnson (Anderson University), who had a game-high 25 points.  Eugene Vassallo chipped in with 21 points, and Kennard Moore (Southeast Missouri State) drained five 3-pointers to finish with 19 points for the Heat.  

With the win Bull City improves to 3-2 in the Tobacco Road Basketball League (trblproball.com)
