The Kellogg Community College men’s basketball team won at its latest home game 79-69 against Glen Oaks Community College on Saturday.
Leading for the Bruins were sophomore Ron Jamierson, with 18 points and 4 steals; freshman Tahveayr Boykins, who had 15 points and 8 rebounds; sophomore Jamari Thomas-Newell, who had 12 points and 8 rebounds; freshman Dashaan Palmer, with 11 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocked shots; sophomore Zachary Sims, with 10 points; and freshman Eddie Wesley, who had 4 assists.
Head Men’s Basketball Coach Gary Sprague said the win moves KCC into a tie for third in the conference, and avenges an early season loss to the Vikings last month in Centreville.

The recent win brings the Bruins’ overall record for the season so far to 10-13; the team’s conference record is 7-5.
