| Layup at :03 keeps Farmington in the hunt |
| One
might think that two teams that have been in the
tournament together for the past nine years would
have met more than twice. Especially two team as
good as Farmington and Lewistown have been over
that stretch. But that was the situation as the
Farmers bested Lewistown 49-47 in the days first
quarterfinal matchup at the Macomb-Western
Holiday Tournament. Neither team led by more than five points in the contest which featured 12 lead changes and seven ties. Donnie Rose scored on a layup with :03 remaining to break a tie and give Farmington (8-1) the win. Farmington enjoyed a 31-23 rebounding advantage in a rematch from the Spoon River Tipoff Classic from earlier in the season. The Farmers were led by Gabe Ayers with 12 points and seven rebounds. Quinton Hatfill was tops for Lewistown (7-3) with 13 points and he pulled down seven rebounds, as well. Scott Parrish and Brent Burrows added 10 each for the Indians. |
