TROY --- Freshmen Jakevan Leftridge and Desmond Williams made their much-anticipated Troy debuts on Saturday afternoon, leading the Trojans to a 104-53 victory over Shorter College at Trojan Arena.
The freshmen duo each scored 10 points, while forward Davion Thomas contributed a career-best 19 points and eight rebounds in just 20 minutes of work.
Six different Trojans reached double-figures for the first time since Dec. 22, 2016 (92-84 victory over Cornell), while the Trojans scored over 100 points for the first time since Nov. 16, 2017 against Brewton-Parker (106-71).
"We made an extremely difficult decision today to play Jakevan and Des [Williams],” Troy head coach Scott Cross said.
