Cherikos and YPA's Antwon Young put on an offensive show as Young finished with 30 points. Cherikos scored 19 of his points in the first half as the Lancers jumped out to a 41-26 lead. Thirteen of those points came in the second quarter when Legion outscored the home team 28-11.  All 10 LCA players got into the game and contributed to the scoring.  Joining Cherikos in double figures was senior guard Zion Brown who scored 16 points.
