Bull City falls at home to Wilmington

November 22, 2015 -- (Durham, NC): 

The Bull City Legacy played gracious host to the Wilmington SeaDawgs Saturday evening at Walltown Recreational Center.   I say "gracious host" because the Legacy graciously blew a 22 point halftime lead, en route to a devastating 112-108 loss, at the hands of Wilmington.  

Bull City controlled the first two quarters behind the strong play of Charles Futrell and Jamario Clayton. Clayton finished with 15 points and 5 assists -- Futrell came off the bench to spark the Legacy with a team-high 29 points, and a 61-43 halftime lead.  

Wilmington shaved nine points off the lead in the 3rd quarter when trio of: Marco Spears, Levi Humphrey, and Dameion Dre Baker went to work. The SeaDawgs out scored Bull City 35-18 in the 4th quarter to get the improbable win.  Spears poured in a game-high 34 points to go along with 7assists.  Levi Humphrey also topped the 30-point mark   with 31 - Dameion Dre Baker chipped in with 28 points.   

With the loss Bull City Drops to (1-3) on the season, while Wilmington improves to (2-0).  Bull City is back in action on 11/25 versus the Raleigh Revolt.  Wilmington will host Charlotte Elite on 11/29.

DURHAM, NC --  Ian Gregory scored a team-high 19 points -- J' Mell Walters ran the offense efficiently -- Jamario Clayton provided a much needed spark off the bench, leading the Bull City Legacy to a 113-101 victory on Saturday over the visiting Lumberton Showstoppers.  

Lumberton's Deon Hammonds (Mount Olive) led all scores with 21 points, to go along with 4 rebound, but that wasn't enough for the road team. Gregory (St. Thomas University) showed his all-around game for Bull City.  J'Mell Walters (NCCU) chipped in with 16 points and 2 assisits, while guard Jamario Clayton provided a lift off the bench in the second half.  

The halftime score was knotted at 50 when a former Southern Durham High standout took over.  Jamario Clayton (Univ. Hawaii Hilo) scored 15 points, dished out 7 assists, and infused Walltown Recreational Center with energy.  Bull City (1-2) had seven players in double figures and used a 32-18 third quarter to pull away from Lumberton (0-1).
