CORBIN — By Les Dixon / Sports Editor

LOUISVILLE — Lynn Camp’s Matt Trosper recorded his second triple-double in as many weeks during the Wildcats’ 64-46 win over Brown Saturday.

Trosper scored 18 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and dished out 10 assists during the Wildcats’ third straight win. The 18-point victory also improved the Wildcats to 12-11 on the season.

“We had great senior leadership tonight in a hostile environment,” Lynn Camp coach Clyde Dixon said. “Our mini (Rajon) Rondo, Matt Trosper, had another triple-double.”

The Wildcats’ Zach Smith also turned in a solid effort by scoring 18 points and finishing with 11 rebounds. Lynn Camp jumped out to a 9-5 lead in the first quarter and managed to increase it to 22-13 at halftime.

The Wildcats put the game away in the third quarter with a 24-12 run and held a comfortable 46-25 advantage going into the fourth quarter.
