Live updates from Emmanuel Christian boys game
7:23 p.m.: A furious comeback by Emmanuel Christian results in a 46-44 victory over Mississinawa Valley. Junior guard A.J. Tolliver hit two free throws with six seconds left, and MV’s desperation 3-pointer at the buzzer was off the mark.
A traveling call against MV prior gave EC the ball on the possession that led to Tolliver’s free throws.
7:09 p.m.: Terry Scott nailed a 3-pointer from two steps behind the arc to trim MV’s lead to 38-37. The Lions trailed by seven moments ago.
7:08 p.m.: Emmanuel trails 38-34 with 2:21 left. Terry Scott of EC just hit three free throws after being fouled on a 3-point attempt.
6:53: Emmanuel Christian trails 32-28 after three quarters. Joel Elliott leads the Lions with six points.
6:44 p.m.: Mississinawa Valley leads 28-24 with 4:02 left in the third quarter.
6:31: A somewhat entertaining game so far with a low score. The Hawks lead EC 19-17 at halftime.
6:25 p.m. The Hawks lead 15-14 with 1:48 left in the half. MV just called time-out. Here’s some of the wisdom heard from behind me in the stands (condensed into one paragraph) and from the MV bench in just the last few minutes.
“Motion, motion. Don’t waste your dribble. When you gonna learn to pull up. Take it in. C’mon, shoot it. Shoot the ball, James. Post up. He’s moving on the pick. Good shot. Get there, get there, get there, right there. Regular, regular. Box out. Let’s go Lions. 22, 22.”
6:18 p.m.: Mississinawa Valley led 10-6 after the first quarter, and it’s still 10-6 with almost 5 minutes left in the second.
Joel Elliott jut scored for the Lions to cut the deficit to 10-8. In the first quarter, the Lions scored six points on two three-point plays.
Southeastern is in the house. The Trojans play Newton in the second game tonight.
5:54 p.m. A few minutes to tipoff here at the Vandalia Butler Student Activities Center. They need a new name for this place. That’s at least two too many words. The SAC works well, though.
No. 6 seed Emmanuel Christian is facing No. 7 seed Mississinawa Valley in the first game. This is the first round of the Division IV sectional tournament.
