 Preachers
The Panthers of Principia College defeated the Preachers of
Lincoln Christian College in a thrilling double-overtime contest
Saturday at Laughlin Center as the Preachers team of 1965-66 -- new
inductees of LCC's Athletic Hall of Fame -- looked on.
With seven minutes to go in regulation, LCC enjoyed a five-point
lead. Then 10 straight points by Principia put them ahead, but the
Preachers rallied to tie the game on a 3-point off-balance shot by
Grant Zimmerman, tying the score at 74-74. The teams both scored 12
points in the first overtime before Principia gained the final
advantage by outscoring LCC 10-5 in the second overtime.
The final score of 106-105 drops the Preachers to 6-16 for the
season.
The Preachers enjoyed a balanced scoring attack with five players
scoring in double figures. Adam Everett shot very well and scored 26
points before fouling out in regulation. Jon Wallace scored 23
points and grabbed 14 rebounds. Matt Searby added 20 points, Grant
Zimmerman 11 and Landon Callahan 10.
Principia also put five scorers in double figures, led by Kyle
Johnson's 37 points and 20 rebounds.
The Preachers will next be in action Wednesday at home against
