Calhoun’s preseason all-state forward Dylan Faulkner scored 31 points and gave the Colonels trouble down the stretch in a 62-56 Region 7-5A win Tuesday night at Cass.


“That’s a good team,” said Cass coach Kevin Cunningham. “We struggled to keep Faulkner off the glass and most of his points came from rebounds and putbacks. We tried to make him work but he played really well. We will get back to the drawing board and get ready for Cartersville on Friday.”


Cass and Calhoun were knotted at 14 each after the first quarter Tuesday with the Colonels taking a 25-23 at the intermission. The Yellow Jackets outscored Cass 17-15 in the third quarter to send the game into the fourth quarter tied at 40-40.


In addition to Faulkner’s performance, Calhoun got 12 points from Jace Johns and 10 more by Landon Chattam.


KJ Rogers led Cass with 16 points. Sacovie White followed with 11 and Devin Henderson added 10 for the Colonels.


Calhoun improved to 8-6 overall and 1-0 in Region 7-5A.


Cass (6-8, 0-1) plays at Cartersville Friday night.
