Shedrick Hits Last Second 3-pointer to Lift
Lakers to 66-64 Win Over Montevallo on Homecoming
by Gid Rowell, Athletics
A 3-pointer by forward Charles Shedrick
with three seconds remaining Saturday
put the perfect ending on a perfect
Homecoming at Clayton State University.
Shedrick’s game-winning shot came after
Montevallo’s Danny Cummins missed
two free throws, setting the play with 25 sec-
onds left in the game. After a Laker timeout,
Shedrick took a pass from guard Tony Dukes
on the right wing, slipped a defender then
drained a 3-pointer for the win.
Clayton State trailed by three points, 64-
61, with 1:01 left in the contest before for-
ward Omari Murray made a basket to pull
the Lakers within one.
The win over Montevallo, the Peach Belt
Conference’s top team from the West, evens
Clayton State’s record at 11-11 and 7-8 in
league play. The Falcons fall to 15-7 overall
and 11-4 in the PBC. Clayton State will
return to action on Thursday, traveling to
face Georgia College in Milledgeville.
The game against Montevallo was tight
throughout with nine lead changes and the
scored tied on seven different occasions.
Clayton State led 30-28 at halftime.
Murray led Clayton State with 14 points,
hitting 6-of-9 shots from the field. Dukes
finished with 13 points, six assists and
three steals. Center Andrew Bachanov
had 10 points and 10 rebounds. Forward
Juron Dobbs finished with 10 points, hit-
ting 4-of-6 from the floor.
