Israel Patterson also had a great game down low, scoring 14. The Colts bounced back in a big way against Parchment, 69-59 (avenging a 6 point loss from earlier in the season). The victory was by far the Colt's best effort of the season. Parchment roared out of the gate, hitting 5 of 5 3 pointers in the first quarter, but Comstock's steady defense and balanced scoring attack proved to be too much in the end. Every player on the roster scored in the win, led by Israel Patterson's breakout 21 point performance. JR Kellum and Jumarciyae James also scored in double figures. Great job, guys!
