If you didn't know better, and I do, you'd have to think of a poor front runner. (MU down, no Hopefan.) But truly, how is coach myers enjoying retirement? I bet mixed emotions this time of year. Very classy individual that the SLIAC will miss.

Hannibal-LaGrange 81 Fontbonne 78 OT
FU trailed 42-32 at half, was down 10 most of 2nd half. Made a run the last 5 minutes, capped by a 3 pt by McCoy to send to overtime. With the scored tied at 78 and 12 seconds to play Hannibal inbounded from their sidelines. With 9 seconds a Hannibal guard puts up a 35 footer and hits it( Darned this thing I've ever seen).

Fontbonne was lead by Trevor White w/20 pts.,Branch and Fogerty 14, McCoy 13. Storandt had 8 pts and 13 boards. FU was 10 - 20 from the 3's.

This was a very good Hannibal team. Maybe quicker then anyone we'll see.

Thanks for score and background, fcnews. Looks like Fontbonne will be right in the thick of the SLIAC chase.

Saw where Hanover defeated Maryville 78-64. That's what was posted on the Transylvania site. Hanover is pretty good, so I would assume this was a solid showing by a young Maryville team.

Just got a call from down at Transy from Yjaklok - Maryville was down 20, cut it to 8 and ran out of steam. Lo and behold as Yjak is talking to me, Maryville's Coach Rogers walks by and yjak gives him the phone - Coach told me without mentioning names that things were upside down because his freshmen played well while he was disappointed in a couple of the upperclassmen - Yjak had mentioned that several starters saw little or no time in the 2nd half.

Webster getting kicked at half by Transy (down 14), yjak didn't sound too happy. -- who's gonna get the first SLIAC win? Too bad Fontbonne got nipped- wonder what happened to Cortez Parker, whom FCnews did not mention with his scoring recap?

Just got word from Transy and the Gorloks lost by 15. I should be recieving more info in a bit, which I will post if that is the case. Perhaps, Yjak can shed some light on the game since he was in attendance!

Just got another word! It sounds like the Gorloks had some first night jitters among other problems. There scorers didn't play well and they struggled with Transy's pressure throughout the evening (18 turnovers to Transy's 6). That usually spells trouble. Hopefully they rebound tomorrow and get come away with a W!!!

News from the North South Classic @ BC

Greenville loses to Concordia
Blackburn def. Dominican 57-52

Sorry no stats I forgot my box score at the office.

Blackburn lead by 10 @ the half, Dominican came out and cut the lead to either 1 or 2 straight out of the locker room on a couple BC turnovers. Dominican would keep the game close and eventually take the lead about halfway through the 2nd half. from there it was a great effort for BC to come back- the guys really showed some heart-, Greta games came out of Bryan Waters, Leotis Howard, and Zeb Hammond. Zak Allen had a good first half but neglected to score in the second half but he still contributed to his team with a few assists and steals.

GREAT JOB BC!

Greenville v. Concordia (Ill.)

Final 82-74 Concordia (Ill.)

Greenville lead by Ben Hensold (19), Christopher Simmons (17), and Bryson Taylor (16.) Greenville struggled from the free throw line, shooting 11-19 (57.8). On the other hand, Concordia (Ill.) shot 73% in the second half from the field and I think 58-59% on the game. Score closer than it was. Greenville made a surge at the end, making it a game in the last 2 mins, but not enough. Panthers got in a 25 point hole early in the 2nd half.

For Concordia (lll.), Justin Gray led the way with 19. Lafyette Bell had 16, Ryan Ward with 13, and Ryan Young with 11. For future opponents of Concordia, they are turnover proned. I had them statted at 29. If you can score on their mistakes, you'll be good.

On another note, Beaver_SID, nice meeting you tonight!

Beaver_SID · November 18, 2006, 12:14:01 AM

Pantherpride,

Also a pleasure,

I myself would like to say congrats on one hell of a surge on at the end, I think it was like 10-12 in the final minute and a half! Great job guys, It looked like shoots just wouldn't fall for em tonight. Also, Congrats to Hensold on one hell of a game.

Looks like Eureka lost a tough one, 62-55 vs. Manchester.

St. Louis Christian beats Lincoln Christian 84-61.

Rough night for the SLIAC, but several very competitive games. Let's hope for better luck this afternoon and tonight.

Best wishes to all SLIAC teams and fans.

Thanks Beaver_SID. The big key for Greenville is the same as the last couple years. We like to be in a semi-close game at half, 36-43 v. Concordia (Ill.). Then we dig ourselves into a huge hole starting the 2nd half. We tend to give the opponent a 18-20 point cushion then we start to play. I can't count the times we did that last year and made a surge at the end. You just cannot win ball games like that. With 8:42 left in the 2nd Half, Concordia (Ill.) calls a time out. At that point, they had outscored Greenville 20-8. 11 minutes in, we had 8 points. That's just stuff that we can't have happen.

The Beavers looked pretty good in the 1st half v. Dominican. We didn't stay for the 2nd but I hope we can get a W over Dominican.

Just to finish off Friday reporting, Westminster wins vs Rhodes @ Rhodes, 77-74.... that's a good win for the SLIAC ... I believe they'll go for an SCAC sweep vs Hendrix tonight.

So the SLIAC goes 2-6 the first night
surprizes or disappointments - I guess I'd say Webster, though they were playing top flight competition, I wish they had been more competitive - they are a veteran squad, though still starting mostly underclassmen, I'd like to see my preseason SLIAC no 1 team play better than that. I would have been disappointed in Fontbonne's loss, but FCnews prepared us that Hannibal was good. and ugh, LCC must be pretty sorry to lose by more than 20 to St L christian.
On the other hand, very good win on the road for Westminster

fcnews · November 18, 2006, 03:05:06 PM

Fontbonne has a walk the final was FU 95 Moody 83. FU led at half 57 - 35. Held a sizeable lead till last few minutes. FU's bench saw lots time. FU was lead by Parker with 25( 18 in the 1st ), White had 22, McCoy 19, Fogerty 15. FU shot 10/19 from the 3's. FU for the game shot 57% (53 from 3's) and 72% from the line.

Should of been a 2-0 weekend.

Word from Transylvania.... Gorloks defeated Hanover 84-82 in overtime!! A good team effort all around. Sophomore Ryan Turk led Webster with 25 points (6-8 from 3), while Kuhn and Hoggat had 16 a piece. Spinner added 11 with a critical steal late in the game that was decisive in sending the game to OT. The Gorloks showed some resiliancy by overcoming a very late 5 point deficit in regulation and also a 4 point deficit in OT. From the sounds of things, 11 people played and all contributed in some fashion. A strong win on the road for Webster over a traditionally strong Hanover team. Hopefully, the Gorloks can build on this victory. Congrats boys!!
