YOUNG HARRIS, Ga. | The Mountain Lions returned to The Harp for a conference matchup on Tuesday evening (Feb. 10) and once again showed why they're a force to be reckoned with, and won, 90-80. YHC played a game of chess with Shorter all night going back and forth. The deciding factor would end up being Foward Cameron Bleshoy's interior defense.

The Forward ended with a near triple-double having 10 points, 11 assists, and 7 rebounds
