Lincoln
College vs. Three Rivers
[NOV.
27, 2000]
Three
Rivers Community College handed the Lincoln College men's basketball team its
second defeat of the season with an 87-64 setback in the championship game of
the Three Rivers tournament at Popular Bluffs, Mo., Saturday night. The loss
drops the high-flying Lynx to 6-2 for the season.
Three
Rivers used the 3-point shot to a big advantage as they hit on 10 of 22 shots
for 46 percent. Overall the hosts made 29 of 61 field goal attempts for 48
percent. Lincoln was limited to 38 percent shooting on 24 of 64 attempts. The
Lynx were 4 of 16 from 3-point land.
Marlon
Brooks paced the Lincoln College attack with 16 points while Jerron Hobson added
12 and Maurice Shurney tallied 11.
Three
Rivers was led by Stanlin Ortiz with 21 points. Three Rivers had a 49-35
rebounding edge in the contest.
Coach
B. J. McCullum stated, "I thought Three Rivers’ defensive intensity and
their effort on the offensive boards really hurt us. We must become more
disciplined in our half-court offense and our shot selection. Against
other teams we have been able to force them out of their offense, and we have
been able to score in transition. Unfortunately, against Three Rivers and
Southeastern (our two losses) we have not been able to force the turnovers and
get in the open floor. Our effort was very good throughout the tournament, and
these guys took the loss hard. Hopefully we can get back in practice and
work a little harder on the offensive end."
Two
of the Lincoln College players, Marlon Brooks and Maurice Shurney, were named to
the all-tournament team.

College men's basketball
[NOV.
25, 2000]
Lincoln
College advanced to the championship game of the Three Rivers Community College
tournament Friday by defeating Roane State, Tenn., 84-64. The victory
runs the Lincoln College record to 6-1 for the season. The
Lynx will play Three Rivers for the championship at 7 p.m. Saturday.
B. J. McCullum,
head coach of the Lynx, said, "I thought Roane State was an outstanding 3-point shooting team, and they did get a jump on us in the first half
because they were 6 of 12 from the 3-point line. In the second half, we
did a much better job of communicating, and they had to work much harder for
shots. After shooting 60 percent the first half, we held them to 35
percent in the second half, while forcing 25 turnovers for the game.
Our guards did a great job of hawking the ball on defense, and our post players
were very active offensively. Brian Moffitt gave us a spark by getting 11
points in the second half."
Marlon Brooks led
a balanced Lynx attack with 15 points. Also hitting double figures for the
winners were Jay Bates with 14, Maurice Shurney with 12, and Moffitt and Eric
Crockrell with 11 each. The Lynx shot 52 percent from the floor for
the game (35 of 67) while Roane State finished at 47 percent (24 of 51).
Crockrell pulled down seven rebounds as the Lynx had a slight 34-32 edge.
Joel Zimmerman was the lone Roane State player to reach double digits, with 14.
Lincoln held a
slim 43-37 halftime lead and blew the game open in the second half, giving up
just 27 points while scoring 41 of their own.

Lincoln
College 87, Redlands 81
[NOV.
24, 2000]
Lincoln
College broke from a 39-39 halftime tie to post an 87-81 victory over Redlands
Community College in the opening round of the Three Rivers men's basketball
tournament at Poplar Bluff, Mo., on Thursday. The Lynx, now 5-1 on
the season, will play Roane State on Friday in the tournament.
Coach
B. J. McCullum said, "I thought we were very flat at the start of the game.
Our 285-mile trip today might have had something to do with that. I
thought Marlon Brooks did a great job of keeping us in the game, and Eric
Crockrell did a great job on the inside for us tonight. We will have to
get off to a better start tomorrow (Friday) night against Roane State, Tenn. or
things could get a little tough for us. It is always nice to win."
After
hitting on 15 of 39 shots from the floor in the first half, Lincoln College
blistered the nets at nearly 53 percent in the second half (20 of
38). Redlands shot a respectable 44 percent the first half and
picked it up to 64 percent the second half (16 of 25). Leading the scoring
for the Lynx was Crockrell with 27 points on 12 of 15 shots from the floor and 3
of 7 at the foul line. Crockrell also had a team high of eight rebounds as the
teams battled to a 41-41 total on the boards. Joining Crockrell in
double figures were Brooks with 18 points, Maurice Shurney with 13 and Jay Bates
with 10. Iran Bolden led four Redlands players in double figures with 17
points.

Lincoln's
King named Offensive Lineman of the Week
[NOV.
22, 2000]
The
Gateway Conference has announced that Lincoln's Andy King has been named
Offensive Lineman of the Week as a result of ISU's 40-7 drubbing of Southwest
Missouri State University. King graded out at 77 percent with seven knockdown
blocks and no sacks allowed. King was also instrumental in helping the Redbird
offense set at least two new records this season. The offense racked up a record
total of 5,040 yards of total offense, which means their average of 458.2 per
game is also a new record. Although the Redbirds did not receive a postseason
berth, they finished the season 7-4, winning their final six games in a row, and
ended up being ranked No. 25 in the country in the final I-AA regular season
poll. Coincidentally, King and ISU were undefeated during the LDN's coverage of
their season!

Former
Lincoln College star Marcus Griffin broke out with a huge game Tuesday,
finishing the night with 19 points and eight rebounds to lead Illinois to a
convincing 90-80 spanking of the Maryland (1-1) Terrapins. Other big men doing
the job were our own Brian Cook, with 11 points and nine rebounds, and Sergio
McClain, who registered a double-double, with 10 points and 10 rebounds. The
Illini's interior dominance led them to a whopping 55-37 edge in the battle of
the boards. Frank Williams continues his transformation into a stellar point
guard as he led Illinois in scoring with 21 points.
Illinois,
now 3-0, faces their sternest test of the young season tonight as they tackle
the No. 2 Arizona Wildcats for the championship of the Maui Classic.

Preachers 80, Greenville 76
[NOV.
22, 2000]
The
Preachers hit the floor again in their ninth game of the season, and the floor
was hot as they waged battle here in Lincoln with Greenville. Lincoln maintained
a narrow lead at the end of each half and won the game by 4 points. In the first

score of the game was 80-76.
In
post-game review, coach Randy Kirk had this to say, "We did not play well
the first half, but we have tempo and momentum, so we had the lead. In the
second half Greenville came out ready to play and we didn’t. We lost our lead
and we got down big!" However, coach Kirk recalls, "The turning point
was Jim Turney’s back-to-back 3-pointers for Lincoln. Then we took over!"
Lincoln
Christian College had five 3-pointers: two by Clark, two by Turney and one by
Below. The individual statistics are as follows: Clark 9-8-28, Weber 1-0-2,

women split weekend basketball games
[NOV.
21, 2000]
Lincoln
College split a pair of women's basketball games at the Lincoln College gym this
past weekend. Lincoln began the weekend with an 82-54 trouncing of Morton Cicero
and then lost a tough 80-75 game to Lincoln Trail in overtime. The
overtime loss is the first defeat this season for the Lady Lynx, now 4-1 on the
season. Lincoln Trail improved its record to 3-3.
Fifteen
different players cracked the scoring column in the rout against Morton.
Leading the way for the Lady Lynx was Katie Skaggs with 14 points. She was
joined in double figures by Heidi Weil with 11 points. Lincoln bolted to a 43-20
halftime lead and was never seriously challenged by the visitors.
In
the game against Lincoln Trail, the Lady Lynx fell behind 40-29 in the first
half. Lincoln returned the favor in the second half by outscoring the visitors
40-29, sending the game into overtime. After the two teams traded baskets,
knotting the score at 71-all, things fell apart for the Lady Lynx.
Meredith Stevens hit the first of two free throws to give the Stateswomen a
72-71 lead. After she missed the second free throw, Lincoln Trail grabbed
the rebound and Stevens was fouled again. This time she made both free throws,
increasing the lead to 74-71. On the inbound pass, the Lady Lynx were called for
a violation, and Lincoln Trail scored a field goal to increase the margin to
76-71. The Lynx were unable to recover.
Coach Carol
Wilson said, "We dug a hole in the first half, but I was proud of the way
we came back in the second half. We showed a lot of character and gave
ourselves a chance to win; we just didn't execute down the stretch. The
second half does give us something to build on for the future."

LCC men’s
basketball vs. Iowa Wesleyan
![](../../images/ads/maple/maple092500.jpg) [NOV.
20, 2000]
Lincoln
Christian Preachers played a second game over the weekend. It was against Iowa Wesleyan.
With a halftime score of 35-57 in Wesleyan’s favor, the warmed-up Preachers
bettered Wesleyan 40-33 in the second half for a game total of 75-90, with
Wesleyan the winner.
In
a post-game review, Coach Randy Kirk had this to say, "We did not handle
the ball very well. Our press was ineffective. We didn't do a good transition
from press into half-court defense."
In highlights,
"Dante Watson was the most important player over the weekend," Kirk
said. "He proved he can play with scholarshipped players."
