La Plume, PA (2-17-09) - Malcolm Boone (Sugar Loaf, NY/Warwick) came up big just when his team needed him the most.  The freshman recorded a double-double with a 16-point and 10-rebound outing, but it was his six blocks that changed the course of the game as Keystone downed Baptist Bible College 65-57.

With the win the Giants move to 17-7 overall and 10-5 in the CS, while Baptist Bible falls to 10-13 and 8-8.
