The Saints ran past Central Christian (Mo.) College 96-49 at the William Penn Classic to pick up their first win of the season. Presentation played 15 players and had four players scored in double digits, including 10 with five points or more.
PC, which never trailed, jumped out to a 25-6 lead and led 43-20 at halftime.
"It was one of those games where we wanted to jump on them early," Presentation College coach Jeremy Reigle said. "I thought we started off our last game (a 77-58 loss against Dakota State) slow in the first half and the second half. We wanted to jump on them early and I thought we did that tonight. It was a good opportunity for all the guys to get some playing time."
Chaz Haymond netted a game-high 18 points off the bench. He drilled four three-pointers.
"I know he can shoot the ball," Reigle said, "that was kind of the first time we saw it tonight, so that was good."
Darrell Farr added a double-double with 12 points and 13 rebounds, including nine on the defensive end. He played only 15 minutes.
"Darrell did what Darrell does," Reigle said. "He rebounded the ball well and he didn't play a ton, but he got those numbers in a short amount of time. I was pleased with his play."
Damian Strong added 11 points, while Lorenzo Jarvis cracked the double-figure mark with 10 points off the bench. The Saints canned 14 three-pointers en route to the win.
"I'm actually kind of surprised by that because I don't think that we are a great shooting team, at least not yet," Reigle said, "but tonight we shot the ball pretty well. That was in large part to our good ball movement. We swung the ball and found the open shooters."
Presentation (1-1) will play Crossroads College today in the final day of the William Penn Classic.
