Chattahoochee Tech’s men’s basketball team fell in the final seconds of the first round of the GCAA tournament, losing 57-56 to Albany Tech on the road at nearby Darton College. The Golden Eagles, who took a 56-53 lead after an Asauhn Dixon-Tatum put-back dunk with 30 seconds remaining, lost the lead when ATC hit a 3-pointer to tie with 12 seconds to play.
