Keon Lewis hit a big three-pointer with 1:30 left to play in the game and Jordan Davis hit two foul shots with 1.5 seconds remaining to secure the win for Potomac State College, 84-79 over Montgomery College, Thursday evening in NJCAA Region XX Division II Men's Basketball action.

The game was originally scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 4 at Montgomery College in Rockville, Md. but was moved to Dec. 5 at nearby Washington Adventist University in Takoma Park, Md. when problems with the Montgomery College facility became apparent.

"It was a back and forth game," according to Catamount Coach Neil Epstein. "We led by as many as 10 points in the first half but were up only three at halftime. We went back up early in the second half and Montgomery tied it up with five minutes to go. We got some clutch shooting down the stretch to win it."

Corey Allison and Breland Walton each scored 24 points for Potomac State and Walton collected 14 rebounds. Cortney Walton had 15 points and Lewis's clutch three pointer topped off a 12-point night for him. Jordan Davis handed out a game-high nine assists.

The Raptors Isaiah Jennings scored a game-high 29 points including 9-20 field goal shooting and an 11-11 performance from the free throw line. Agyei Edwards joined Jennings as the only Montgomery players in double figures with 20 points.

The Catamounts are now 3-3 on the season. They play next at Pitt-Titusville on Sunday, Dec. 8 at 3:00 p.m. Montgomery College's record is now 7-2.
