Jan. 31, 2022, BATTLE CREEK, Mich. – The Grand Rapids Community College men's basketball dropped another overtime game on Monday, losing 89-87 to Kellogg Community College, despite Ryel Daye earning his first career triple-double.
The Raiders led by one point with under six seconds remaining in overtime after Justus Clark hit a free throw, but Kellogg's Brett White, who had a game-high 30 points, hit the game winning three-pointer just as time expired.
The defeat was GRCC's sixth loss in seven overtime contests this season, and third straight overall.
Daye finished the game with 22 points, 15 rebounds and 11 assists in 41 minutes of action. He's now averaging 19.8 points per game and 11.8 rebounds per game.
Drew Moore tallied a team-high 28 points and five boards for GRCC. Moore is also averaging over 19 points a game this season.
Shooting guards Brockton Kohler and Rico Wade each scored 11 points and combined for five of the team's 12 total steals.
"I was proud of the way the guys played," Coach Joe Fox said. "I thought we had the effort and the energy tonight. We just missed a couple little things in execution at the end. You have to tip your cap to Kellogg's Brett White for making a big-time shot. Now that we have seen everyone in conference play, we are going to really hone in on scouts and being ready to play. Our sophomores Ryel Daye and Andrew Moore continued their strong play, I was proud of how they battled."
GRCC's men and women's team return to action Feb. 2 in a home matchup against Glen Oaks Community College. The men defeated Glen Oaks in their first meeting of the season, 78-70, while the women's team will be taking on the Vikings for the first time this year.
