Conference action got started in full force within the
Sagamore Conference Friday evening, and the league favorites quickly flexed
their muscles. Both Danville and North Montgomery picked up lopsided wins
However, there is a surprise entrant at the top of the league standings.
Lebanon is tied at the top with the big boys.
Danville used some pressure defense and he ever present
Travis Carroll to romp past Southmont 55-33 on the Warriors home court. North
Montgomery kept pace with a 75-46 pasting of Tri-West. The Chargers controlled
the boards and the tempo throughout most of this one. The surprise of the
evening came at Lebanon where the Tigers moved to 2-0 in league play by downing
Western Boone 56-47.
It was a disappointing night in non-conference play.
Frankfort, one of the favorites for the conference crown, was upset at home by
Logansport. The Berries kept the Hot Dogs high powered offense in check during
a 58-55 triumph. Also, Crawfordsville fell to West Lafayette in a low scoring
affair 45-38. The Athenians struggled to dent the scoreboard in the final
minutes.
In the Sagamore, conference games mean boys/girls
doubleheaders. The girls put on quite a show Friday night. The biggest news of
the evening is that Lebanon is discovering there is life after Maggie Boyer.
The Tigers downed Western Boone on a last second shot 50-49. The victory evened
Lebanon’s conference mark at 1-1 and moved them to 3-6 overall. Western Boone
dropped to 5-4 and 1-1 in the league.
Elsewhere, Danville continues to surprise people. The
Warriors moved to 6-3 with a 38-35 win over Southmont. It was the league opener
for both squads. Southmont falls to 2-5 overall. Finally, Tri-West downed North
Montgomery 58-53 to even their conference mark at 1-1. The Bruins face a major
test this coming week when Frankfort comes to call.
