An opening volley of treys by senior guard Austin Cornett and a rebound slam by Tyler Nichols ignited an early 18-9 Elizabethton run, and a buzzer-beating trey by Cornett gave the Cyclones a 54-51 win over Hampton on Tuesday night at VanHuss-White Gym.

With 1:24 left in the first half junior post Conley Bowers went down to the floor hard, hitting his head and was down for several minutes before paramedics arrived to assist him.
