Big Ten Tournament


Monday, March 10, 2008

(Tournament) Title Town

Trent Meacham scored 21 points and senior Jamar Butler added 20 in his final game as Hershey won the Super 6 Tournament Championship, 71-59, over Great Lakes Christian. A pair of seniors led GLC, with DJ White scoring 17 points and Dan Coleman tacking on 14 more, but it wasn't enough to keep Hershey from hoisting its fifth tournament banner in the last six years. In fact, the Red Storm have won more tournament titles (5) than regular season titles (4).

In the Third Place consolation game, Robert Montgomery U held off Nelson Christian, 69-59. E'Twaun Moore finished with 17 points to pace the Knights, winners of 11 of their last 12 dating back to December. DeShawn Sims scored 19 points to lead the Doves, while senior Spencer Tollackson played his last game, but laid a Carlton McGee Memorial Goose Egg on the way out the door.

Our 17th season is now part of Super 6 History.

Super 6 Tournament - Down Two It

Great Lakes Christian and Hershey will battle this week for the 2008 Super 6 Tournament Championship. It's a rematch of last year's title game, which UH won 58-54.

D.J. White scored 16 points as GLC advanced to the final with a 58-44 win over Nelson Christian, while UH knocked off top-seeded Robert Montgomery U 72-66 in the other semifinal, snapping RMU's record 10-game winning streak.

It's been a great year for GLC, which claimed a share of the regular season title with a 10-2 record, including a three-game sweep of UH. Hershey, always a threat in the postseason (but never in the regular season), is looking to win the tournament championship for the 5th time in the last 6 years.

In the 5th place consolation game, Oskee Wow-Wow beat Superior Baptist 59-54. It was the last game for three SBU seniors, Drew Neitzel, Michael Flowers and Tarrance Crump, while Shaun Pruitt played his last game as a Warrior.
