Back-to-back road wins: Yetis grind out EGSC, roll past Southern Crescent

Cleveland Community College men's basketball stacked two road victories to open last weekend, rallying late to top East Georgia State 78–74 on Friday before dominating Southern Crescent Tech 77–56 on Saturday.

Cleveland CC 78, East Georgia State 74 (Oct. 31, 2025 — Swainsboro, GA)

The Yetis flipped a four-point halftime deficit with a bruising second half, winning the glass 46–32 and cashing in at the stripe (20–30 FT to EGSC's 11–18).

Standouts

• Miles Beard — 23 points (7–15 FG, 7–11 FT), 4 rebounds; created offense all night and closed it out at the line.

• Kelan Flowers — 12 points, 7 assists, 6 rebounds; paced the attack and hit 3 threes (3–6).

• Jamari Smith — 11 points, 8 rebounds, 3 steals; physical two-way impact from the bench.

• Tamareion Roundtree — 11 points on 5–5 FG, 7 rebounds; perfect from the field, punched up second-chance points.

• Cairo Morales — 8 rebounds, 1 block; anchored the paint and protected the rim.

• Caden Thomas — 6 points on 3–3 FG; efficient minutes.

Cleveland CC 77, Southern Crescent Tech 56 (Nov. 1, 2025 — East GA)

The Yetis raced to a 37–17 halftime lead and never looked back, holding Southern Crescent to 31.1% FG and 1–16 from three (6.3%). Ball movement and depth carried the day.

Standouts

• Miles Beard — 17 points (4 threes), 8 rebounds; set the tone early from deep and battled on the glass.

• Jacob Adair — 15 points (3 threes), 4 rebounds, 2 assists; spaced the floor and finished in transition.

• Mikalister Andersen — 12 points (4–4 FT), 6 rebounds, 3 assists; steady two-way production.

• Josh Bullock — 7 points, 7 assists, 3 steals; quarterbacked the offense and hounded passing lanes.

• Jamari Smith — 5 assists, 2 steals, 1 block; playmaking and disruption off the bench.

• Tamareion Roundtree & Hans Ngolaminga — 8 points each on combined 8–13 FG; efficient interior finishing.

Bottom line: Cleveland CC showed two winning formulas in 24 hours—resilience and free-throw toughness to close a tight one at EGSC, then suffocating defense and depth to cruise the next day. The backcourt of Beard–Flowers–Bullock orchestrated the weekend, while Smith, Roundtree, Morales, and Ngolaminga gave the Yetis a decisive interior edge.
