Faith Christian breaks losing streak on homecoming

Faith Christian Academy broke a five-game losing streak against New Life Christian with a 55-32 win on homecoming Friday night.

The Conquerors (4-10) got 18 points from senior Logan Pittman. Sophomore Hayden Voller was also thrust into the point guard position after injuries and gave the team 12 points. 

Faith Christian jumped out to a 16-0 lead in the first quarter. The Warriors (3-8) cut the lead to nine points in the third quarter. But the Conquerors went on a 21-7 run to end the game.

“I just said look fellas, ‘let’s go back to playing team basketball and making the extra pass,’” Faith Christian head coach Jeff Stocks said. “It’s a mental thing. They think things are going well so they get comfortable and stop playing team basketball.”

New Life Christian junior Brock Leonard led all scorers with 19 points.

Faith Christian will host Greenville Christian Academy on Tuesday.

I grew up in Goldsboro, North Carolina, graduated from Wayne Country Day School and I love my hometown. I also love sports, and have turned that passion into a career. Through my time at the Kinston Free Press and Johnstonian News I got to cover Johnston and Greene Counties, and fell in love with both communities. I love the area I cover, and I hope I do the communities proud with this website.
