Can't sugarcoat this game.  This was an ugly loss.

Lyons pours in 30 pts. but not enough for Clinton Grace to defeat IU target Malachi Jordan and Dream City Christian.

Haven't been a lot of opportunities to watch Lyons but last night was a good one.  Clinton Grace defeated Fairfax Christian (21-2) 72-69 in overtime.  Both of FC's loss have been to CG (18-15).  Lyons was basically a non-factor in the first half and CG trailed 29-24 at the break.  It was a 41-40 FC lead after 3 Qs.  Thanks to Lyons finding an open man in the corner for a 3 to tie the game at 61-61, to a 4 min. OT they went.  In the 4th Q, Lyons had 5p and 2a.  In OT, he had 5p, 1r,  1a, 3s.  He finished the night with 19p,  2r,  4a,  5s,  0b,  1t.

Halftime and Lyons pretty much doing a solo performance.  This is a Division A Semifinal game in the MDPSSBT tournament.
