Kendrick Easley Surpasses 2,000-Point Mark

Kendrick Easley has become the second player in Mount Olive men's basketball history to reach the career 2,000-point mark. Easley entered Saturday's game at Anderson with 1,986 career points and scored 15 points in the first half. Easley hit a pair of free throws with 33 seconds remaining in the half for his 2,000th and 2,001st points. Easley finished with 24 points to bring his total to 2,010. He joins Russell Stephens in the Trojan "two-grand club." Stephens holds the school scoring record with 2,165 career points.

Easley's milestone was bittersweet, however, as the regionally fifth-ranked Trojans suffered their first conference loss and had their 11-game winning streak snapped as Mount Olive fell to regional No. 6 Anderson 81-74 at Anderson, S.C. Full Story
