Charles Beauregard led the way with 22 while Marcus Mathieu scored 17 with six rebounds, Niem Stevenson had 16 with seven rebounds, Delano Jones fought off foul trouble with 15 points, James Byrd had 14, and Mitchell Packard scored 13. Seward led the game 48-39 at halftime and led by as many as 25.
