Flames Fight Hard, But Lose

Feb 15, 2014

Kentucky Christian University             88

Welch College                                     74

February 15, 2014.  If only Welch College could put together two complete halves.  Once again the Flames were able to play an excellent second half, but fell to visiting Kentucky Christian University, 88-74.

In the first half, KCU went on the offensive and attacked the Flames’ defense every trip down the floor with their fast breaks.  The fast pace allowed the Knights to take a 48-34 lead into the locker room.

Coming out after half-time, the Flames were able to neutralize the KCU fast break enough to play even the entire rest of the game.

“We played much better in the second half,” said Flames’ coach Nathan Willhite.  “We need to be more consistent for forty minutes.”

Freshman standout, Carson Outlaw led the Flames in scoring with 27 points and five assists.  David Reeves had a good game off the bench, scoring 18 points.  Tim Hutchinson added 16 points and nine rebounds.  Lim Chol was the fourth Flame in double-digits with 11 points.
