| Lewistown hot, Titans not |
| An
iceberg may have brought down the Titanic, but
ice-cold shooting brought down the Titans, 61-34,
this afternoon at Western Hall in the last of the
consolation quarterfinals of the Macomb-Western
Holiday Tournament. Lewistown (8-2) hit a blistering 62.5% of their shots in the second half to pull away from a Monmouth-Roseville (6-5) squad who mustered only 20% field goal shooting in the opening half. It would get worse from there, as the Titans only made 6 of their 34 (17.6%) second half field goal attempts. The shooting differential allowed Lewistown to go on a 20-3 run to start the third quarter. The Titans are winless in the tournament since their championship in 2007. In fact, that championship game was against the Lewistown Indians. Alex Bresnahan was the top scorer for Monmouth-Roseville with 9 points. Ian Simpson and Kevin Battefeld each scored 15 to lead Lewistown. Simpson earned a double-double as he collected 10 rebounds. Lewistown will face Western at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow at Macomb High School in a consolation semifinal. |
