Freshman guard Ramone Enis and sophomore forward Braylen Meredith each scored 20 points and freshman Payton Moore added nine, but host Black Hawk College was a tough opponent to overcome in COD's 77-72 loss in NJCAA Region 4 men's basketball Thursday night.
 
The Chaps, now 3-2 and 2-2 Region 4, play host to McHenry County on Thursday night and home against Indiana Northwest JV on Nov. 23.
 
The Braves built a 39-31 halftime lead and the Chaps pulled to within a point of the lead with 40 seconds remaining, but couldn't break through.
 
Stephen Reed led Black Hawk (4-1, 2-0) with 24 that included 12-of-14 free throws. Teammate Dion Doyle followed with 21.
