GBB Twin Lakes Tourney: 3A #6 Ev. Memorial thumps 1A #6 Randolph Southern

MONTICELLO – It wasn’t the size of the school that was the difference Dec. 28 in Class 3A No. 6 Evansville Memorial’s 54-44 victory over 1A No. 8 Randolph Southern in the first round of the Twin Lakes Invitational. It was the size in the school, specifically Memorial’s talented post duo of Annie Hackert and Mallory Ladd.
The pair combined for 38 points and an intimidating defensive presence to lead the Tigers to a 54-44 triumph.
Defeating Randolph Southern means stopping star junior Stephanie Lord and all of the havoc she can create. Memorial accomplished half of that task. Lord scored a team-high 19 points, but she was unable to break down the Memorial defense to open up her mates.
Repeatedly, Lord beat the perimeter defenders only to find Hackert and Ladd waiting in the paint. She tried time and again to dump the ball to her post players, but it seldom reached its destination as Ladd and Hackert intercepted countless passes and blocked nearly double-digit shots.
Memorial’s dominance in the post began immediately at the opening whistle. It led the southern visitors to a 22-12 lead at the end of one quarter. The Rebels adjusted well and actually controlled play in the second period, but at half’s end they had nothing to show for their strong play.
Memorial finished the half strongly and expanded the lead at intermission to 12, 38-26.
The second half saw both teams tighten the defensive screws. Memorial outscored Randolph Southern just 7-5 in a rather sloppy third quarter. Nonetheless, the 45-31 lead the Tigers carried into the fourth was more than enough to hold off the determined Rebels.
Ladd led all scorers in the game with 24 points, while Hackert added 14 markers. The triumph sends Memorial into the second round Dec. 30 versus Logansport.

BB Wabash Valley: Owen Valley stops 1A #11 Turkey Run, 62-56

TERRE HAUTE – Sometimes you can do everything right, and the results still turn out bad. That was the story Dec. 26 for highly regarded Class A Turkey Run in the first round of the Wabash Valley Pizza Hut Classic.
The 11th-ranked Warriors entered their contest with 3A Owen Valley knowing they needed to control tempo and shut off the post game of the much-bigger Patriots. They did an excellent job of both. What they didn’t figure on was solid perimeter shooting from the Patriots, nor the handful of opportunities they would squander themselves down the stretch.
The result was a 62-56 Owen Valley victory.
It took very little time for Turkey Run to establish the slower tempo it wanted. The Warriors opened in a compacted zone that successfully kept Owen Valley out of the paint and completely eliminated quick shots for the Patriots.
The two teams jousted to a 12-11 Owen Valley advantage after one quarter.
The opening minutes of the second period brought one of the two key stretches in the game. Owen Valley heated up from beyond the 3-point arc, something the scouting report said was unlikely. The three barrage was enough to build a 27-17 lead midway through the quarter and put Turkey Run on the ropes.
But the Warriors responded with a five-point burst to claw back into the game. Owen Valley, not to be outdone, came back with seven in a row, and once again the Warriors were on the ropes.
Coach Joey Hart’s crew ended the half on a six-point run to narrow Owen Valley’s advantage to 34-28.
The third quarter had to be frustrating for both coaches. Owen Valley continued to shoot well and put 16 points on the board in the stanza. Meanwhile, Turkey Run seemed to become the quicker of the two teams and responded with the same total.
The quarter ended as it had begun, with Owen Valley clinging to a six point lead at 50-44.
The Warriors had two opportunities in the final minute to close within four but could not capitalize. It was the start of an agonizing trend.
Turkey Run stepped up the defensive intensity at the start of the fourth quarter, and Owen Valley began to struggle mightily. The Patriots scored just four points in the first six-and-a-half minutes of the final period.
Despite that futility, however, the Warriors could not make a run. With a full dozen chances to cut the lead to fewer than six points during that stretch, Turkey Run failed each and every time.
Finally, with 1:24 left to play, the Warriors’ Jon Sowers hit a 3-pointer from the corner AND drew a foul. The four-point play drew Turkey Run within two at 56-54.
Ironically, the post game of the taller Patriots – which had been so successfully stymied throughout the contest – came to the rescue. Owen Valley responded with two buckets in the lane to stave off the late rally.
The victory improved Owen Valley, which was paced by 6’7” Cody Vest’s 19 points, to 3-4 on the season. Turkey Run (5-2) was led in scoring by Jake Weaver’s game-high 21 points.
The Warriors’ loss was the first in what proved to be a long day for Wabash River Conference teams. Riverton Parke fell to West Vigo, 63-44, with nearly 30 turnovers the Panthers’ undoing. Later in the day, Rockville fell to one of the tourney favorites, Marshall (IL), 59-39.
Both teams will return to action Monday as Owen Valley battles West Vigo (5-3) at 2:30 p.m. ET and Turkey Run tackles winless Riverton Parke at 11:30.
