GAINES GUNS IN CAREER-HIGH 50
SALEM, W.Va. — There was no stopping Ajamu Gaines Monday night.
The South grad fired in a career-high 50 points as Charleston handed Salem-Teikyo its first loss of the season, 105-92, to move into a virtual tie for first place in the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.
The 5-foot-91/2 senior guard hit 14 of 29 shots from the floor — including 9 of 14 three-pointers — and 13 of 15 free throws while playing 341/2 of the 40 minutes.
Gaines, who is being scouted by NBA teams, also had four rebounds and four assists while committing seven turnovers.
Charleston, coached by another South product, Jayson Gee, improved to 17-2 overall and 8-1 in the WVIAC. Salem-Teikyo is 16-1 and 9-1.
