#1 STATESMEN OVERCOMES OVERTIME PUSH FROM PATRIOTS

MARTINSVILLE, VA, February 19, 2014- Richard Bland College climbed their way out of a battle in overtime, 76-75 over the host Patrick Henry Community College Patriots.

The Statesmen (25-1, 14-1 Region X) continue their quest to win the regular season title, however, a feisty Patrick Henry team made it difficult for the nation's leading team. The Statesmen were led by Tavon Mealy with 18 points, Avery Ugba followed with 16 points and Lequan Thomas added 10. The Patriots were led by Daquan Kerman with 23, Mustafa Ali with 13 and Josh Beck pumped in 10 points for the Patriots.

The Statesmen are back in action against the Eagles of Wake Technical Community College on Sunday, February 23, 2014 for a 4:00 pm tip-off.
