Basketball stays undefeated in the Suncoast Conference, beats HCC 105-92

BRADENTON, Fla.- The SCF Men's Basketball team beat Hillsborough Community College at home last night, 105-92. The Manatees maintained the lead for the entire contest and sealed their third conference victory to lead the Suncoast.

Freshman, Michael Sanchez, had a career high 29 points and 12 assists. Savad Garner netted 20 points and grabbed eight rebounds against the Hawks. Other standout performances were Isaiah Williams (15 points), Brian Cobb (13 points), Denzel Myers (14 points) and Obinna Oleka with (10 points). This was the 14th time SCF has broken the century mark in points scored which was enough to return to No. 1 in the Nation for points per game with an average of 100.5.

"Michael Sanchez hit the freshman wall the first few games after break but came out tonight poised to have a great game. This was his best game of the year and to do it without his backcourt team mates Anders Haas and Larry Keys was a great step forward as we go on the road for the next two games," said Head Coach Brock Erickson. "Hopefully we can use this momentum in the next two games to continue to stay in first place in the Suncoast Conference."

SCF has won 13 of their last 14 games and are leading the Suncoast Conference with a perfect 3-0 record. The Manatees are now 20-4 on the season and are at St. Petersburg College on Saturday at 4pm.
