NATCHEZ — Dre McCoy had a double-double with 14 points and 14 rebounds and Tommy McCoy scored 11 points as the Trinity Episcopal Saints defeated the Silliman Institute Wildcats 45-34 Tuesday night.

Despite the win that improved Trinity’s record to 4-1 on the season, head coach Edwin White was not pleased with his team’s performance at times.

“We shot bad from the free-throw line. We were 8 of 19. We didn’t play team ball. We played individual ball. Once we realize it’s about team instead of ‘I’, we’re going to get better,” White said.

Trinity trailed Silliman 8-4 after one quarter of play before outscoring Silliman in each of the final three quarters — 12-7, 10-7 and 19-12. Riley Sones led the Wildcats with a game-high 17 points, but got very little help from his teammates.

“We stuck it out at the end defensively,” White said. “Not to take anything away from Silliman. They played very aggressive. Nothing worked out tonight. We struggled.”

Trinity Episcopal hosts Oak Forest Academy Friday night.
