FORT VALLEY, Ga. – The Wildcats did not let another one slip away. Fort Valley State claimed the final five minutes and earned the men’s basketball victory, 64-56, over Central State Monday night.

The FVSU run continued with a pair of K.J. Doucet free throws, a left-wing Tyler Pendergrass triple and a Jamarcus Scott ball fake and 15-foot jumper in the lane to surge ahead, 58-51, with 2:14 on the clock. Central State answered with its own 3-pointer, but it was unable to get any closer in the final two minutes.

Doucet guided the FVSU attack with 17 points, eight rebounds, four assists and two steals. Pierre Mitchell added 14 points on 5 for 11 shooting to go with three assists and four steals.
