"We knew it was going to be tough," saidDoor coach Alan Januzzi. "I'm happy for them (Cornerstone Coach Ronald Calhoun is) starting to build his program. It was a good test. They are where we were two years ago."

"Their big guys played very well. They got a lot of offensive rebounds."

"I got a couple more gray hairs from the game," Calhoun joked. "They got intimidated in the second quarter, but got more aggresive in the third quarter. That Davis is a great player. He scores, he's on the boards and he plays solid defense."

Davis' 27 points leave him one point shy of the school record of 1,106, held by Matt Wireman.

Cornerstone had Sam Liggins (14), Rhoden (14), and John Liggins (11) all reach double figures.
