Hamilton’s big night not enough for Saints

ST. AUGUSTINE – Keshaun Hamilton led four Flagler College players in double-figures with 17 points and he grabbed a career-high 19 rebounds but Georgia Regents University Augusta proved to have just a little more in a hard-fought 85-78 win Saturday afternoon in a Peach Belt Conference men's basketball game at Flagler Gymnasium.

GRU Augusta won its second consecutive game and improved to 14-5 overall and 6-4 in the Peach Belt. Flagler fell to 8-9 overall and 3-7 in conference play.

The Jaguars led by as many as 14 in the first half and took a 42-31 lead into the break. The lead expanded to 16 (51-35) in the early stages of the second half, but the Jaguars had a hard time putting away the resilient Saints.

Dennis Diaz sank a three-pointer to cut the GRU Augusta lead to 67-60 with seven minutes left and he hit another with just 1:38 left to pull Flagler to within six (79-73) but the Saints couldn't get over the hump.

Keshun Sherrill led the Jaguars with 20 points, six assists and five rebounds. Devonte Thomas added 15 points and Devon Wright-Nelson tacked on 13 points and eight rebounds.

The Jaguars shot 50.9% (29-57) from the field for the game, including a 55.2% (16-29) mark in the first half. GRU Augusta out-scored Flagler 26-12 in the paint and converted 15 Flagler turnovers into 19 points.

Jerrell Oxendine scored 25 points with help of making 6 of 9 three-pointers and he tallied seven assists. Matt Clark came off the bench to add 14 points on 4 of 9 shooting from behind the arc. Diaz scored eight of his 13 points in the second half.

Flagler suffered its first loss when making 10 or more three-pointers (6-1). The Saints made 15 treys. A 33.3% (10-30) shooting percentage in the first half put Flagler in an early hole.

Flagler hosts Columbus State University on Wednesday (Jan. 28) in another Peach Belt Conference game. The game will follow the women's contest at approximately 7:30 p.m. at Flagler Gymnasium.
