scored the game's first seven points and went on
to secure a 22-8 lead after the first period and
Illini Central could never recover as the
Redbirds advanced to the Macomb-Western Holiday
Tournament semifinals with a 52-34 victory. Danny Harman complimented his 21 point day-one performance with 18 more in today's game for Illini Central (4-7), but a sub par shooting performance from beyond the arc (1 for 16) for the Cougars added to their troubles. Kyle Heck dropped in 21 points for Metamora (6-5) on 8 of 11 shooting. Teammate JD Kamp added 10. Illini Central moves to the 5th place bracket where they will face the loser between Canton and Midwest Central tomorrow morning at 9:00. Meanwhile, Metamora awaits the winner of that contest which tips off at 1:00 p.m. Both contests will be played in Western Hall. |
