Game 2 - Christmas Knight



RMU's Adam Haluska has the Knights focused




Around the Super through Game 2 (12/24) ... Robert Montgomery U was in a giving mood this Christmas, so they gave UNC a whuppin', and gave the scoreboard a workout, in a 104-65 win over the Doves. Adam Haluska scored 36 points as the Knights became the first team to break the century mark since the 2004/2005 season. Freshman Kevin Coble, who is making Coach Mockler look like a genius for recruiting him, added 23 points, and Daequan Cook tacked on 21. RMU had an outside shot at the single game scoring record (116), but Brian Butch (11 points) couldn't find his outside shot. Kammron Taylor paced Nelson Christian with 17 points ... Carl Landry poured in 26 points and Drew Neitzel added 20 as Superior Baptist moved to 2-0 with an 80-62 win over Oskee Wow-wow. Shaun Pruitt had 19 points to lead the Warriors, who dropped to 0-2 ... Geary Claxton and DJ White combined for 37 points as Great Lakes Christian turned back Hershey, 54-50. Greg Oden finished with 18 for the Red Storm, but it wasn't enough to overcome single digit efforts by Lawrence McKenzie (5) and Dion Harris (2).

Opening Neitzel - '06/'07

Drew Neitzel torched Hershey as Superior Baptist came out of the gate with a 70-46 rout of the Red Storm to tipoff the new Super 6 season. Despite being benched to start the second half, Neitzel still managed to rack up a career-high 32 points to earn Player of the Week honors. Ivan Harris and Carl Landry combined for 25 more as the Crusaders looked like a legitimate title contender, at least in the early going. Greg Oden tossed in 14 in his first game for the Red Storm ... Dan Coleman scored a career-high 29 points and Geary Claxton added 21 to lead Great Lakes Christian to a 74-67 win over Nelson Christian. Coleman, who rode the pines for a good portion of last season, finally lived up to his potential as a solid starter and carried the Crusaders to the win. The Doves were paced by Warren Carter's 21 points, and freshmen Tyler Smith tacked on 16 points in his Super 6 debut ... Adam Haluska had 21 points as Robert Montgomery U tipped off the '06/'07 campaign with a 61-51 win over Oskee Wow-wow. Freshman first-rounder Kevin Coble tacked on 12 for the Knights. Alando Tucker had 20 points to lead the two-time defending champion Warriors, who have already equaled last year's loss total.
