On the night the Saints' lone senior was honored, he also came through in the clutch moments to help Central Christian College of the Bible to a huge 80-79 come-from-behind victory over Emmaus Bible College on Saturday in the Ferneau Center.

On Senior Day, Sam Adams scored 15 points, but none were bigger than his game-tying 3-pointer with 3:38 to go that erased a 19-point deficit, and his pair of clutch free throws with 4.3 seconds remaining to seal the win.

Central Christian's Quincy James, Jr., had scored the go-ahead layup while getting fouled with 23.7 seconds left. He made the free throw, then Adams corralled the ensuing missed Emmaus shot on the other end and was fouled to set up his finishing moment.
