Trinity Valley 94, KC Men 86

ATHENS, TX -- Kilgore College trailed by as many as 22 points in the second half, but cut the lead to six points late in the game with help from four quick technical fouls called on the Trinity Valley bench, resulting in the ejections of both the head coach and an assistant coach for the Cardinals.

On the other side of the court, the Cardinals (12-6, 6-2 Region XIV) shot 48 percent from the field, led by Dashawn Davis who scored 34 points.

Davis had an impressive outing, making 11-of-18 shots (4-of-5 three pointers).
