Statesmen Electrify Home Crowd in Non-Conference Victory

SOUTH PRINCE GEORGE, VA — The Richard Bland College men's basketball team fed off an electric Statesman Hall crowd on Tuesday night, delivering a statement 95–48 victory over Patrick & Henry Community College. From the opening tip, the energy was undeniable — and the Statesmen never let it fade.

RBC set the tone immediately, forcing a turnover on P&H's first possession before sophomore guard, Andy Ramirez drew a foul and drained both free throws to put the Statesmen on the board.

Doyle Brown ignited the offense with a 29-point explosion on 12-of-19 shooting, including four three-pointers. Ramirez was equally commanding, pouring in 21 points, while Emmanuel Vonhm powered the paint with 17 points and nine rebounds. Jermaine Coston Jr. also tallied 11 points and seven rebounds for the Statesmen.

The Statesmen's offense was clicking on all cylinders, shooting 55.4% from the field and 47.1% from beyond the arc. Their ball movement was elite, racking up 25 assists as Jahi Bowden dished out 10 and Dove Fishburne added eight. On the defensive end, RBC stifled the Patriots to just 15 second-half points.

As the clock wound down, the crowd erupted one final time when Marcus Banks buried a three-pointer from the wing — sealing the 95-48 win and sending Statesman Hall into celebration.

With the win, Richard Bland moves to 2-1 overall on the season. The Statesmen will turn their focus to their next opponent, Harcum College, and their 4pm matchup in Pennsylvania on Sunday, November 16^th.
