Bull City Legacy prevail in home opener

November 14, 2015

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).

Lumberton will next face the Cary Invasion on 11/21.  Bull City will also be in action next Saturday; they welcome the Wilmington Sea Dawgs to Walltown Recreational Center.
