Daily Tournament Fix — Feb. 25
Here’s your daily tournament fix for Wednesday, Feb. 25:
Tonight’s games: D-IV — Emmanuel Christian vs. Mississinawa Valley, 6 p.m., and Southeastern vs. Newton, 7:30 p.m., at the Vandalia Butler Student Activities Center.; D-III — Northeastern vs. Carlisle, 7:30 p.m., at UD Arena.
Short Takes: Northeastern is coming off a huge victory on Friday, a 58-56 win over Southeastern, which kept the Trojans from going perfect in the OHC. … Emmanuel Christian joins the Metro Buckeye Conference next season. … Southeastern is 18-2 overall and finished the season ranked fifth in D-II. The last time they faced Newton in 2000-2001, the Trojans were 18-2, but were ousted in the first round of the D-II tournament. They wouldn’t lose another game until the regional finals the next season. … The Trojans finished the season with four of their five starters (J.P. McFarland, Jared Toops, Austin Mercer and Tyler Cooper) all averaging double figures. Their fifth starter, Reed Florence, led the Springfield-area in assists. … The Jets have won four of their last seven games. They’re 1-3 against D-III teams (Greeneview, West Liberty-Salem) they faced this season.
Key player: Aaron Hartzell, Northeastern. The Jets senior post will have to be a monster in the middle tonight against Carlisle. The 6-8 senior is an imposing figure in the paint and can change his opponents shots just by taking up space in the lane. If he can get his offense going tonight, the Jets will have a chance to play Greeneview for a third time in the second round.
Last night’s results: All four area teams - three boys and one girls team - fell in action last night. There are just three area girls teams left standing - Kenton Ridge, Graham and Southeastern.
Lookahead: No area teams play on Thursday, but we’ll have action from both the boys and girls tournament games on Friday and Saturday.
