The No. 7 Chipola Indians took two more wins over the weekend in Decatur, Ga., knocking off Atlanta Metro on Friday and host Georgia Perimeter on Saturday to move to 2-0 on the season.

The Indians opened with an 83-57 win over Atlanta Metro, with Torian Graham leading the way with 24 points, followed by Carlos Morris and Sam Cassell, Jr. with 18 points each.

On Saturday, Chipola had a much tougher battle with Georgia Perimeter and had to rally from a late deficit in the second half to pull out the 88-81 win.

The game marked the season debuts for All Panhandle Conference sophomores Cinmeon Bowers and Demetrious Floyd, with Bowers going for 29 points, 15 rebounds, three assists, and four steals, and Floyd 16 points, seven assists, and three steals.

Freshman guard Jamaar McKay also had a big night with 25 points, six rebounds, and six steals.

"I was really happy coming away against two good teams with two wins," Chipola coach Patrick Blake said. "Saturday was probably our toughest test playing Georgia Perimeter at their place. The toughest thing to do in college basketball is to win a true road game, so I was very proud of our guys."

The Indians led by just one point at the halftime break before extending the margin to eight early in the second half.

Georgia Perimeter fought back to regain the lead, but Chipola was able to take control late and pull away for the win.

Chipola will next return home Friday and Saturday for the Chipola Classic with games against Snead State on Friday at 7:30 p.m. and Darton College on Saturday at 6 p.m
