Supporting Green’s stellar outing, Caleb Sanders provided a balanced double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds, while Kamai Samuels chipped in another 12 points to round out a potent frontcourt trio. The depth of the Golden Eagles’ roster was evident as they outscored the Toppers in every statistical category, limiting Blue Mountain Christian to just 70 points.
