Basketball is back at the Flickinger Center as the Erie Community College men's basketball team won their home opener on Wednesday defeating Genesee Community College 97-84.
It took the Kats a few minutes to find their groove against the Cougars who came out strong, jumping out to a 10-4 lead. The half would continue to be a back and forth battle between the teams but by the end of the half, Erie was leading 52-41.
The second half continued with Erie dominating inside the paint and leading by as much as 22 at one point. Three Kats players scored in double digits in the game. Joshua Denis and Kelvin Reaves each put up 24 while Nathan Severson contributed 22 of his own. Reaves also led the team in rebounds with 11.
Erie is now 3-1 on the season and will play in the NCCC Tip-Off Classic this weekend at Niagara County Community College. The first game is Saturday at 5:00 pm when they take on Lackawanna College.
