Lafayette put together an 11-0 run midway thru the 2nd quarter and downed Chillicothe in a non-conference game. The game was halted early in the 4th quarter when Lafayette's Taylor Deayon posted up on Chillicothe's Bryce Young after driving across the lane and under the basket. Deayon went up in an awkward position, was fouled and landed hard on his back on the floor.  He was taken off the court on a backboard and stretcher by EMTs and taken to the hospital. Reports from the floor stated he had use of all limbs, was breathing correctly and was fully alert. Deayon had 16 points at the time of his injury and was the leading scorer for both teams.
       Chillicothe's Bryce Young had 8 points in the first quarter and finished with 12 points along with several assists and rebounds. Junior Blake Stephens led the Hornets with 14 points. Lafayette was able to score from both the lay-up game as well as the outside game, going 8/19 from behind the arc. Chillicothe is off until Monday December 28th when they take on Putnam County at 8:30pm at the NCMC Holiday Shoot-out.
