Red Raven Men's Basketball Earn First Victory of 2020 with Win over Seward County, 65-63

January 4, 2020

The Coffeyville Community College Men's basketball team earned their first victory of 2020 with a two-point home victory over the Seward County Saints, 65-63.  The victory moves the Red Ravens overall record to 11-5 and 3-3 in Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference play.

Coffeyville looked sharp out of the gates building a 35-20 first-half lead while going into halftime with a 37-28 leading margin.  Poor shooting in the second half from the Red Ravens (0-10, 3 pt FG's in the second half) allowed the Saints of Seward to inch back into the game.  Coffeyville's late-game time management combined with Red Raven free throws earned Coffeyville the 65-63 victory.

Coffeyville's top performers included sophomore Tony Hutson with 14 points, sophomore Manny Crump with 9 points and freshman Larry White with 8 points and 5 rebounds.

Next up for the Red Ravens will be a scheduled home tilt with the Colby Trojans on January 8th.  Game time in Nellis Gymnasium is set for 7:30 pm.
