Bossier Parish Community College got 26 points and 8 assists by Tony Montgomery and a double-double from Zequan Lewis Monday night as the Cavaliers cruised by Baton Rouge CC 81-68 in the Dacari Markray Invitational at Billy Montgomery Gym.

BPCC picked up 16 points from Drew Cooper, who hit 4 of 8 on 3-pointers, along with 11 points by Mazin Lumori. Lewis scored 11, snagged 10 rebounds and issued 5 assists.

The Cavaliers (5-2) led by 20 or more most of the second half.

“We had a great win tonight in a total team effort over a really good BRCC team that has had some very good wins early in the season,” said first-year Bossier Parish coach Jeff Moore. “Our execution was much improved on the offensive end. Tony had another great performance and Drew was solid again, and shot the 3’s well.”

The Cavs play today at 1 against Tribulation Prep in the two-day tournament.

Both Centenary teams are on the road tonight.

The Gents visit Mary Hardin-Baylor at 5:30 in central Texas (Belton). The Ladies play nearby in Marshall at Wiley College, tipping off at 5.
