Gladiators Top Lanier on the Road

Gladiators Survive a Thriller on the Road, Take Down Lanier 64–61Johns Creek continues its remarkable season with another statement win, edging Lanier 64–61 in a nail‑biter that went down to the final seconds. The Gladiators had to grind for every possession, battling through hot shooting from Rashad Slaughter and strong interior play from DJ Bembery, who finished with 12. Cameron Blackman added 15 for the Longhorns, keeping the pressure on all night.

But when the moment demanded poise, the Gladiators delivered.

Tatum Holmes: The Engine Once Again - Holmes was steady and fearless, knocking down big shots throughout the game and sinking crucial free throws late. His consistency kept Johns Creek afloat during Lanier’s runs.

Isaiah Johnson’s Ice‑Cold Dagger - Despite early foul trouble and a quieter night statistically, Johnson stepped into the biggest shot of the game with the score tied and just 3 seconds left. The result? A gutsy, nothing‑but‑net three that silenced the gym and sealed the win.

Thomas Landeck’s Breakout Performance - Landeck turned in one of his best outings of the season, posting 10 points and grabbing 9 boards — a near double‑double that proved vital in such a tight matchup.

A Season to Remember - With the win, Johns Creek improves to 17–3 overall and 6–1 in region play, holding firmly onto second place in one of the toughest regions around. Lanier fought hard, but the Gladiators showed why this season is shaping up to be one of the best in recent memory — resilience, teamwork, and clutch shot‑making when it matters most.

Next up: another challenging road test at Roswell on Friday at 7:30 PM.
