Blackhawk Tech Takes Down PSC in Home Opener

CHICAGO HEIGHTS, Ill. --- Despite racing out of the gates to an 18-9 advantage, the Prairie State men's basketball team was unable to garner a victory Tuesday night, falling to Blackhawk Tech 96-80 at the PSC Fieldhouse.

The setback dropped the Pioneers to 1-2 on the young campaign.

Tuesday's matchup with the Talons was the home opener for PSC and also represented "Veterans Appreciation Night" as the Pioneers honored all veterans of the United States Armed Forces in attendance throughout the evening.

Prairie State posted three scorers in double digits as sophomore Ryan Clemons (Homewood-Flossmoor H.S.) delivered a 19-point showing on 7-of-17 shooting from the floor. Clemons also led PSC on the glass, ripping down nine rebounds while dishing out five assists.

Sophomore forward Raeshom Harris (Bloom H.S.) dropped in 15 points while snaring three rebounds and handing out a pair of assists.

Sophomore Gabryel Patterson (Southland College Prep) tallied 11 points in just 16 minutes of action.

Sophomore guard Caleb Chavers (Homewood-Flossmoor H.S.) shared the team-high honors in assists with Clemons (5).

Sophomore Isaque Cunha (Colegio La Salle H.S., BRAZIL) (8 points, 3 rebounds), freshman Kaiden Ross (Lincoln-Way East H.S.), (7 points, steal, block), freshman Dillon Wright (Lawrence Central H.S.), (5 points) and sophomore Dominic Pangallo (Homewood-Flossmoor H.S.), (5 points) all aided the Pioneers' cause.

PSC trailed just 41-37 at the intermission before the Talons took control of the tilt, outscoring PSC 55-43 over the final 20 minutes.

Blackhawk tallied 60 of its 96 points in the paint while PSC produced just 34 down low.

The Pioneers knocked down 9-of-24 three-pointers to Blackhawk's 6-of-22.
PSC will be in action next on Saturday as NJCAA Region 4 counterpart Kennedy-King pays the Pioneers a visit at the Fieldhouse (3 p.m.).
