Danyel Bibbs led the Grand Rapids Community College men’s basketball team to a 102-94 win over Cornerstone University’s junior varsity team to stay unbeaten.
Bibbs’ 27 points led all scorers, with the starting point guard from Saginaw going eight-for-16 from the field and 10-of-14 from the free throw line. He also had four of the team’s 23 steals.
Despite the close score, second-year head coach Joe Fox was pleased with his team’s effort.
“Fun, fast paced game against a very tough opponent,” Fox said. “I was really impressed with how much effort and energy we brought defensively. I also loved the enthusiasm for the bench. Two fun tests are coming next week, and I look forward to seeing how the guys respond.”
Freshman Bashir Neely shined in his first game of the year, scoring 17 points on an efficient seven-of-15 from the 15 while totaling a 8 steals in 26 minutes.
Jujuan Walker added 13 points on six-of-seven shooting and Rico Wade’s 14 points.
The team has won its first two games, defeating Olivet College’s junior varsity team 113-55 earlier in the week.
GRCC’s next game is Nov. 8 at Great Lakes Christian College in Lansing.
