Sluggish Saints Hold Off Colby

The score probably sent shockwaves throughout the KJCCC. Seward won the game, but barely against improving Colby. The Saints led by as many as 17 (45-28) and led by nine with about 4:30 to play but needed a clutch Marquez Patterson three pointer and a defensive stand to beat Colby for a 10th consecutive time. The Saints led 35-24 at halftime. Seward’s shooting bailed them out after an 8-16 three point shooting night including 6-11 in the first half. Seward trailed 64-63 until Patterson’s three made it 66-64 with 30 seconds to go. Jeremy Jones scored 16 points and dished four assists. Marquez Patterson added 13 points. Seward is 14-3 overall and 2-1 in the Jayhawk West while the Trojans fall to 10-7 overall and 1-2 in the Jayhawk West. The Saints host Pratt Saturday night in the Green House at 8 p.m. on B107.5 and kscbnews.net.
