“It was just a situation where the guys would drive and kick, spacing the floor,” St. Paul’s coach Brandon Garrett said. “Charlie did a good job of finding the opening down low.”

Faith Academy raced to a quick 11-2 lead early in the game. Javon Wilson’s 3-pointer at the buzzer cut the Faith lead to 23-20 at halftime.

“We missed some shots early on and did not execute well defensively, but we started trusting each other and some shots started falling in the second half,” Garrett said.

The Saints took their first lead of the game, 27-25, midway through the third quarter and led 37-33 after three quarters. The Saints did not trail in the fourth quarter.

“We needed this one. We’ve been in so many games, some close losses, most recently LeFlore by 5, so it was good to pull this one out,” Garrett said.

Christian McWilliams led the Saints with 13 points. The Saints (9-14) will host LeFlore on Monday.

Trent Sellers led all scorers with 17 for Faith Academy. Tank Spears added 9 points, and Cray Coley defensively had 2 blocks, 5 rebounds and 1 assist for Faith Academy.
