BATESVILLE, Ark. -- The
Lyon College Scots won their fourth game in a row
Thursday evening in grand fashion, obliterating the
Williams Baptist College Eagles 87-53 in a nonconference

Meanwhile, the Scots
scored on 35 of 64 shot attempts for a 55 percent clip
and canned 13 of 18 free-throw chances for a season-high
72 percent from the line.

earned game-high scoring honors with 20 points on 6 of
11 shooting from the field. The junior from Melbourne,
Ark., also had a team-high eight rebounds, two steals
and two blocks. Lyon guard Jonathan Donaldson had 13
points while teammates Charles Black and Matt Owens
accounted for 12 and nine points, respectively, off the
