Skyhawks Open SSAC Play on the Road at Life University

Point University Men's Basketball opens Southern States Athletic Conference play this Thursday, Nov. 20, with a road trip to Marietta to take on Life University. The Skyhawks enter the matchup at 3–1, carrying strong momentum from non-conference play into what will be a key early-season test.

Point is averaging 86.0 points per game, shooting 43.4% from the field, 37% from three, and an impressive 81.3% from the free-throw line—numbers that give the Skyhawks a solid offensive foundation as they transition into conference competition.

The Skyhawks feature a balanced attack led by:

• Cahlib Edwards — 17.0 PPG, using his ability to create off the dribble and get to the foul line effectively.

• Kenton Steele — 16.5 PPG, 6.8 RPG, one of the team's most consistent two-way players.

• Tanner Higgins — 12.0 PPG, with 14 made threes already through the first four games.

• Robert Harris and Yuta Yamamoto — efficient scoring and steady production off the bench.

Defensively, Point has been active and physical, generating 35 steals and grabbing 148 rebounds, which has helped fuel their transition offense and pace of play.

Life is entering conference play boasting a 5-0 start to their 25-26 campaign. The Eagles are led by Forward Shane Stevenson who is averaging 16.8 PPG, 5.4 RPG, and shooting at a 72.9% clip from the floor.

History: Point has dropped the last four matchups against Life University since joining the SSAC as a full-time member in the 2023-2024 season. The Skyhawks enter this one hungry to change that trend and establish a new tone to begin conference play.
