BB: SAC race justs gets tighter and tighter

To say the Sagamore Conference race has slowly grown toward
a climax is a major understatement. Entering February, the race is far too
close to call and all of the marquis games are still remaining.

 

After Friday night’s action, three SAC teams remain
undefeated. North Montgomery heads the list
with a 5-0 conference slate. The Chargers downed Western Boone Friday night
53-41. North Montgomery put three players in
double figures led by the 16 points of both Colin Maltsberger and D.J. Byrd.
Clay Pierce added 11 points and 10 rebounds. The loss left Western Boone
winless in the league at 0-6.

 

Danville
stands at 4-0 in league play. The warriors were scheduled out of conference Friday
versus Owen Valley,
but the game was postponed due to weather conditions in southern Indiana. Then there is Frankfort. The Hot Dogs
schedule begins their league play late in the campaign. However, they moved to
3-0 in conference Friday night by edging Crawfordsville 65-63. Frankfort senior Steve loveless exploded for
33 points and mate Troy Porter added 17. That was enough to hold off a late
rally by the Athenains.

 

The other league game saw Lebanon thump a depleted Southmont
club 65-47. That moved the much improved Tigers to 4-3 in the league and 7-7
overall. Southmont dropped to 1-4 and 5-7.

 

So, the drama has built and now the next two weeks will
deliver the big finish. None of the three contenders has yet played any of the
others. North Montgomery has just two conference games left and they are
against Danville and Frankfort. The challenge will be a big one as
the Chargers will face both on the road. North Montgomery travels to Frankfort on February 12th and to Danville on the 17th.
The Frankfort
game could have two very different looks. The Hot Dogs host Danville next Friday night. That means by the
time North Montgomery comes calling the Hot
Dogs will either be playing for an outright title or hoping to cause traffic
jam at the top of the standings. Stay tuned. It will definitely be worth the
price of admission.

THE PAPER

NEW MARKET – In only her third meet, Southmont High School freshman Kara Price took home her first all-around gymnastics title.

Price
nearly finished with four first-place victories, including the
all-around title, and nearly completed a sweep in Southmont’s
95.85-46.95 Monday night home victory over county-rival North
Montgomery.

Besides winning the all-around with a 32.9, Price
also finished first on the bars (8.625), balance beam (7.7) and floor
exercise (8.325).

Had it not been for a tie for first with
junior teammate Alex Zachary (both with 8.25’s), she would have solely
taken every event.

In fact, she and Zachary each threw new
vaults Monday night – a practice Mounties’ coach Aimee Zachary has
worked with the team on this year.

“Kara threw a tusukara and
Alex threw a front-front,” Aimee Zachary said. “We’re trying to get
more difficulty and higher scores on the vault.”

Zachary also
finished second on the balance beam (7.2) and third on the bars (7.8),
floor exercise (8.15) and all-around (31.4).

Junior Kyra Burton placed second on the bars (8.1), floor exercise (8.25) and all-around (31.25).

The Mounties had four of five gymnasts finish with an 8.0 or higher on the floor exercise.

“We
had four girls all score at least an eight. I’m not disappointed with
that at all,” Aimee Zachary said. “On beam, we’re just trying to stay
on and not fall. Kara stayed on. Alex and Kyra had one fall each . . .
Our routines are cleaner. They’re coming.”

The meet marked North Montgomery’s first team meet since the 1990s.

Daina Rice was the Chargers’ last gymnast, competing as an individual from 1998-2001.

This is the first time since that North Montgomery has not had an individual or team compete since.

North
Montgomery next competes Feb. 17 at county-rival Crawfordsville, while
Southmont competes Saturday at the Merrillville Pirate Pride
Invitational.

It’s the first time they have competed in that meet.

BB: Sugar Creek Classic: North Montgomery and Crawfordsville advance to final

Posted on 10 January 2009 by .

By Jeff Hodge
Contributing Writer

CRAWFORDSVILLE – North Montgomery had to go overtime to post a 50-44 defeat of Western Boone, while Crawfordsville coasted in the second half of its 64-53 victory over host Southmont Jan.9 in the opening round of the Sugar Creek Classic.

Following is a review of each game ahead of the Jan. 10 championship and consolation games.

Game 1: North Montgomery 50, Western Boone 44 (OT)
Western Boone blanketed and harassed Purdue-bound D.J. Byrd the entire first half of the opener and seemed to be doing a great job of taking him out of the game. The effort gave the Stars a great chance to pull off an upset in the third annual tourney.

But the 6’5” Byrd seemed to finally snap out of his funk with 3:29 remaining in the third quarter and the Chargers trailing 26-23. Byrd and Western Boone’s Trevin Poole became entangled, resulting in a double foul and Byrd going to the bench for about 30 seconds.

Upon returning to the game, Byrd scored six points and assisted on another basket to help the Chargers end the third quarter with a 31-28 lead. Yet Western Boone responded by hitting back- to-back 3-pointers by sophomore Brandon Burtner and senior guard Aaron Vaughn to take a 34-31 lead with six minutes remaining in the game.

Neither team was able to get more than a four-point lead in the fourth quarter. With North Montgomery clinging to a 42-39 lead, Poole forced overtime by knocking down a three with 1.2 seconds remaining.
 
The Chargers were able to prevail in the overtime by limiting Western Boone to only two free throws in the fourth-minute extra session. Byrd led all scorers with 27 points, while Vaughn led the way for Western Boone with 19.

The Chargers got outrebounded in falling behind early. .
“It was intense out there,” said eighth-year North Montgomery coach Scott Radeker. “I think back to all the games we have played with them, and it always seems like this.

“They’re ****, a little bit. They get after you, and they are scrappy.”

North Montgomery (7-3) scrambled all night with Western Boone (4-5), falling behind 7-0 in the first 2:23 of the game and trailing 14-12 after one. The second quarter was rather **** as both teams misfired repeatedly, and the Stars still held a 23-21 halftime lead.

Byrd paced the Chargers with eight first-half points, while the Stars were led by Vaughn’s 13.

North Montgomery advances to the tourney’s championship game Saturday night against Crawfordsville, a 64-53 winner over Southmont.

Game 2: Crawfordsville 64, Southmont 53
Led by senior Jordan Boykin, Crawfordsville (4-4) owned the floor in the second half as the Athenians advanced with an 11-point conquest of the host Mounties (3-4). The C-ville senior center scored 16 of his game-best 22 points after intermission.

“He set the tone for himself,” said first-year Athenians coach John Blackwell, not at all happy with his team’s play after a first half in which Crawfordsville trailed 30-29. “He had the floor in the locker room before I got there myself.

“I was really, really pleased that he showed that kind of leadership.”
