HIGH POINT, N.C. – Led by double-digit scoring games from Andre Fox, Brandon Kamga and Jahaad Proctor, High Point's backcourt led a hot-shooting effort that sparked the Panthers to a 75-56 win over Longwood Thursday evening at the Millis Convocation Center.
 
Fox and Kamga led that charge with 18 points apiece, while Proctor added 17 as High Point (14-14, 9-8 Big South) shot.509 (27-of-53) from the floor and .500 (8-of-16) from three-point range. Kamga and Proctor each hit three of those three-pointers, while Fox went 7-of-11 from the field and scored the 1,000th point of his three-year career at High Point.
 
"They shot the ball extremely well," said Longwood head coach Jayson Gee. "Kamga isn't normally a three-point shooter, but he goes 3-for-4. He had some contested looks, so you have to give him credit for knocking them down. I thought they forced key turnovers, too, that allowed them to go on some runs."
 
High Point broke the game open early, using a 14-0 run in the first half in which Proctor scored eight points. Longwood would cut the lead back to four after Charles Glover and Isaiah Walton hit back-to-back three-pointers, but the Panthers responded with another run of 14-2 and led by double digits the rest of the way.
 
The win was the fourth in the past six games for the Panthers, who maintain a hold on one of the Big South's top five seeds entering the final weekend before the start of the Big South Championship.
 
Longwood (6-24, 3-14 Big South) got another double-digit scoring game from redshirt junior forward Damarion Geter, who also added eight rebounds and has now scored at least 10 points a career-high 11 times this season. Charles Glover added 11 points, while Isaiah Walton finished with 10.
 
"I'm trying to get him to shoot more," Gee said of Geter, who is shooting a team-high .588 (80-of-136) this season. "When you're 5-for-6 and you shoot a great percentage like that, we want to get you more shots. But he's such a team guy, maybe overly unselfish, and we have to get him to be more selfish because he's so efficient. Not only that, but he's good at finding his teammates too, so we have to do a better job convincing him he needs to be more aggressive offensively."
 
Geter's work in the paint was one of the few successes Longwood managed against a High Point defense that entered the night holding opponents to 66.8 points per game, the third-lowest clip in the Big South. The Panthers handcuffed Longwood's shooters, holding the Lancers to just .200 (4-of-20) shooting from three-point range for the team's lowest three-point clip in Big South play this season.
 
Just one game remains on Longwood's 2017-18 regular-season schedule, as Commonwealth rival Radford comes to Willett Hall this Saturday for a 3 p.m. matchup. Prior to the game, Longwood will recognize its two-man senior class of Glover and B.K. Ashe as part of Senior Day.
