HOW IT HAPPENED

Montevallo saw its season come to an end following a 107-99 setback on the road at Augusta in a Peach Belt Conference Tournament quarterfinal contest.

Keshun Sherrill knocked down a 3-pointer for the first basket in the game 34 seconds into the opening half and Augusta retained control for the majority of the first half.

A layup by senior Javonte Douglas with 17:20 remaining in the first half gave the Falcons a 6-5 advantage, but it marked the only lead in the game for Montevallo.

The Jaguars led by as many as 14 points in the opening half, the last time on a 3-pointer by Aaron Byrd with 1:42 remaining in the half, before junio Jamaar Taylor answered with a 3-pointer of his own as the Falcons trimmed the deficit to 49-38 heading into the locker room at halftime.

Sherrill finished 5-of-6 from the floor, including 4-of-4 from beyond the arc, and led the Jaguars with 15 points in the opening half. Douglas paced Montevallo with 16 points in the first half on 7-of-14 shooting from the floor.

The Falcons managed to trim the Jaguars' lead to 71-67 following a pair of free throws by Taylor with 10:15 remaining in the game.

Augusta quickly responded with a 10-1 run, capped with a jumper by Sherrill, to push its lead back to double digits. The Jaguars led by as many as 17 points down the stretch before a late push by the Falcons.

A layup by senior Kevin Kelly with 12 seconds remaining in the game cut the Jaguars' lead to 103-99. Augusta knocked down 4-of-4 attempts at the charity stripe in the final 10 seconds to close out the victory.

Sherrill scored a game-high 29 points while also grabbing eight rebounds and dishing out five assists for the Jaguars. Douglas led Montevallo with 26 points and six boards.
