Game 4 - Kalin Leads The Crusade

GLC Crusaders 66, UH Red Storm 52
Kalin Lucas scored 24 points as Great Lakes Christian rang in the New Year by clocking Hershey, 66-52, in Game 4 (12/30-1/4). Stanley Pringle continued his solid play, tacking on 14 points for the 2-2 Crusaders, who are gearing up for a Game 5 showdown this week against RMU. William Buford and Jeff Peterson scored 16 points each for the still winless Red Storm.

RMU Knights 78, SBU Crusaders 60
Robert Montgomery had its 14th straight win locked up before Manny Harris stepped on the floor. Marcus Landry had 23 points and E'Twaun Moore added 17 as the Knights built an early lead and coasted to a 78-60 win over Superior Baptist. The Knights led 62-60 when Harris came in to rub it in. He finished with 16 points to keep the Knights at the top of the Super 6 standings. SBU lost for the first time this season despite Talor Battle's 26 points. Battle, the Game 4 Player Of The Week, is averaging 25.5 over his last two starts to move into second place on the Super 6 Scoring List.

UNC Doves 59, OWW Warriors 57
Nelson Christian finally cracked the win column, downing Oskee Wow-Wow, 59-57. DeShawn Sims led the way with 14 points for the Doves, who are playing well but only have a 1-3 record to show for their efforts. OWW head coach Scott Slocum almost forgot to include John Shurna in the starting lineup (again). In spite of the oversight, Shurna did everything he could to be memorable, scoring 16 points to lead the Warriors (2-2).
