UNIONVILLE, Tenn. — Colton Morey scored 16 but it wasn’t enough as Community claimed an 80-42 win over the Moore County Raiders this past week.

The game started as a score-fest as Community got out to a 26-18 lead. Morey made a statement early as he hit a triple and a pair of shots from the floor on his way to leading his team with 16 points on the night. Anderson Sharpe did his part as he drained a three and hit a deuce while Tristyn Gray was good for a pair of shots from the field. Braylynn Hill added a two to the mix to end the first.

Community extended its lead with a 15-10 scoring advantage in the third. Liles was big man on campus in the third as he had a pair of buckets while Morey and Avert Rogers both had doubles.
