CARROLLTON, Ga. – The Wildcats kept battling Saturday afternoon against the future NCAA DI regional foe. Fort Valley State won the second half by two points, but host West Georgia took the men's basketball game, 83-64.

Antonio Pelham drained the game's opening points with a 3-pointer 57 into the contest for the Wildcats (0-4) 3-0 lead. It would be the visitors lone advantage as the Wolves (3-0) put the next 19 tallies onto the scoreboard over following 6:37 for the 19-3 lead. Quincy Young downed a pair of free throws six minutes later for what would be the closest FVSU would get the final 26:35 of 11 points, 25-14.

The Wildcats did scratch the entire second half and outscored the Wolves, 37-35. Trailing 62-38 with 12:20 remaining, FVSU rattled off nine-straight points behind a pair of Young buckets, another Pelham triple and a Joe Williams bucket to make it 62-47 over a 2:38 period of time. It was the smallest the margin shrank to in the second stanza.

Jahlen Jack paced the FVSU offense with his highest point total of the early season with 17 points on 6 of 11 shooting to go with three rebounds and an assist. Khadim Samb sank all eight of his free throws as part of his 13 points. Young totaled eight points on 3 of 4 shooting and Pelham added six points on the two 3-pointers.

Zawdie Jackson led all scorers with 20 points for West Georgia. The Wolves connected on 29 of 51 shots from the floor (56.9%) and half of their long-range attempts (12 of 24), while having a 40-24 rebound advantage.

FVSU returns home where it will entertain Georgia College on Tuesday night, Nov. 21, in a 7:30 p.m. contest.
