Pirates defeat Titans

It was case of the good, bad and ugly. Mostly ugly and bad early. For the first time this year PSC had a full lineup; but, not much cohesion. The Pirates fell behind by as much as 15 pts and were lucky to be down only 11 (37-26) at the half. The second half started much better as PSC closed to within 4 but could not get any closer for most of the half. The Pirates (7-6) trailed by 5 at 59-54 with 27 seconds to go. A three pointer, steal and layup by Jamal Thomas tied the game with 3 seconds left. PSC led by 2 in the first half and did not lead again until 4:45 left in OT (60-59). In his first game since becoming eligible, Hassani Gravett hit four free throws to seal the game with 3 seconds left.

Gravett led the team with 27 pts (13-15 FTs), 7 rebs, 3 ast, and a steal. Filip Medjo had 14 pts and Jamal Thomas added 11. CGTC (9-5) was led by Sheldon Williams with 31 pts.

Gravett just got eligible at the break for the Pirates. Gravett started his career at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.

The Pirates will play Shelton State (AL) at 2 pm EST to complete the Tallahassee Democrat Capital City Classic.
