BOX SCORE

JACKSON – On the opening day of the Cabot Lodge-Millsaps Holiday Tournament from The Hangar Dome, Leon Frazier Jr. and Huntingdon College rallied from a 14-point deficit early in the second half to steal a 61-57 victory over host Millsaps.

Frazier netted 14 of his game-high 20 points in the game's final half for the Hawks, going 5-of-9 from the floor and a perfect 5-of-5 from the charity stripe. He added 10 boards for the game's lone double-double and added a pair of blocks.

Millsaps (2-7) shot just 36 percent in the opening half but took a 28-21 lead into intermission, getting nine players into the scoring column including \#LV Sumler\# with five points off the bench. Huntingdon (4-5) also struggled from the floor in the opening stanza, connecting on 28 percent (7-of-25) of its attempts and just 1-of-11 3-pointers.

The Majors maintained a small lead through the opening 10 minutes of the second half, pushing it out to 37-23 with 17:15 remaining, but fell victim to a scoring drought and a huge Huntingdon run that let the Hawks back in it late.

Millsaps led 45-33 at the 12:25 mark after \#Jairus Browning\#'s 3-pointer, but didn't score again until the 5:35 mark. Huntingdon went on a 17-4 run during that stretch, rallying to tie the game twice before taking a 50-49 lead with 3:50 left in regulation.

\#Chris Ingle\#'s layup at the 3:04 mark tied the game at 52-52 before James Daniels responded with a layup for Huntingdon to give the Hawks their final lead of the game at 54-52. They would connect on all four free throw attempts down the stretch to hold on for the 61-57 win.

The Majors were led offensively by senior \#Cameron Varnado\# with 12 points, seven boards and a team-high four assists, while Ingle added nine points and Sumler and Browning chipped in seven apiece.

Huntingdon was led by Frazier's double-double in addition to eight points and 10 boards from Daniels as eight different players found the scoring column.
