While driving one day last October, coach Izzy Ingle’s cell phone chirped its usual We Are The Champions. The conversation was brief and ended with a simple message. “I’ll talk to you later,” Ingle to his brother Tony Jr., the assistant director of basketball operations to their father Tony Sr. at Kennesaw State. “I love you.”

The hope of moving on to the next round in the Georgia Junior College Athletic Association men's basketball tournament came to an abrupt halt for Gordon College on Tuesday. Behind the dominating play of Mariners Johathan Brooks and Ernest Fuller, #2 seed Coastal Georgia bounced the Highlanders out of the GJCAA post-season first round with a 103 - 84 victory in Brunswick. GC relied heavily on freshmen standouts Malcom Jackson and Faibein Davis for their offensive spark. Jackson hit five three-pointers and poured in 28 points while Davis was solid from the field with 21. Sophomore DeAndre Cannon had four three-pointers of his own and finished with 14 points on the night.

Jackson led the league in scoring with a 19.1 average and a solid first year as a Highlander. As you may recall, GC's Daveion Zellner made the 2008-2009 squad.
