"Corsairs roll to third straight win

Last time, two weeks ago at their place, the Feather River Golden Eagles hung 105 points on College of the Redwoods and handed the CR men’s basketball team its third consecutive Golden Valley Conference loss.
This time, not so much.

Redwoods held the Eagles to just 22 first-half points in Eureka on Saturday and picked up its third straight conference win, beating Feather River 67-51.
“It’s taken us a while, but we’re finally starting to gel as a team,” said CR head coach Justin Mora. “Our defensive intensity was off the charts. It was just real effort all the way around and a great team win.”

CR sophomore Johnny Shelton led all scorers with 20 points, while Melvin Washington picked 16 in his fourth straight start, including 13 in the first half.

“Melvin’s been playing real smart and aggressive and he’s really coming into his own,” Mora said. 

Redwoods led 31-22 at halftime, holding the Eagles to their lowest scoring half of the season. After losing their opening three conference games by 34, 40 and 23 points, respectively, the Corsairs have won their past three GVC games by 13, 21 and 16 points.

“We’re playing our best basketball at the right time,” Mora said. 

The Corsairs built a 15-point lead with just nine minutes remaining in the game, but the Eagles quickly cut it to an eight-point deficit by the five-minute mark.

Then, back-to-back buckets from Shelton, one after a steal, pushed the lead back up to 12 and sealed the victory.

“We had a couple periods where it got a little rocky,” Mora said. “But we did a really good job limiting our turnovers down the stretch and took good care of the ball.”

CR’s Bryce Rose also finished in double figures, scoring 13.

With the win, the Corsairs improve to 3-3 in the GVC (9-12 overall) and play next on Thursday at Siskiyous.

“We just want to keep it rolling,” Mora said. “When you have it going like this, we’d like to play again tomorrow if we could, but we’re just going to keep playing hard and try to keep this thing going.”
