Fulton 59
Sheffield 46
Playing on his future homecourt, MTSU signee James Gallman scored 14 points and helped the defending AA state champions continue the road to a repeat with a tough 59-46 win over Memphis Sheffield.
Fulton was balanced in the scoring column as usual with junior Jalen Steele taking high honors with 16 and classmate Robert Boyd adding 14.
