ON THE COURT: Warren Powers scored 16 points to pace six in double figures for visiting Chowan University as they shot a blistering 63.9% from the floor for the game en route to a 109-67 win over The Apprentice School on Monday night.

The Builders only held two leads all night as Johnnie Ferebee scored the first points of the game with 19:04 left and Darrell Fenton hit a jumper with 17:14 remaining in the half for a 6-5 advantage.

In the second half, the Builders cut down their turnovers from 22 in the first to only five in the second.  Junior Zach Zastrow put on a 3-point show in the second half draining four from behind the arc, including three in a near two minute span which included a four-point play which cut the margin to 87-50 with 8:06 left.
