Daily Tournament Fix — Feb. 26

By Michael Cooper | Thursday, February 26, 2009, 10:45 AM

Here’s your daily tournament fix for Thursday, Feb. 26:

Tonight’s games: None. The area resumes play in both boys and girls basketball starting tomorrow night.

Key player:A.J. Tolliver, Emmanuel Christian. The junior guard nailed two free throws with six seconds remaining to give the Lions beat Mississinawa Valley 46-44 for their first tournament win since 2004.

Even bigger win: Northeastern beat Southwest Buckeye League Buckeye Division champion Carlisle 71-51 for their first tournament victory in 18 years, according to Jets coach Kregg Creamer.

They’ll play Greeneview for the third time this season. The Rams beat them twice, including a 57-48 victory on Dec. 19 and a 46-39 victory on Jan. 23.

No repeat: The last time Newton played Southeastern in a D-IV first round tournament game in 2001, they upset the 18-2 Trojans.

It wasn’t happening this year. Southeastern, ranked fifth in D-IV, jumped out of the gates early en route to a 71-49 victory.

Lookahead: There are three sectional final girls basketball games this weekend. On Friday, KR plays Carroll (who ousted them in same game last year) in one final at 6 p.m., while Graham takes on top-ranked Tippecanoe in another sectional final at 8:30 p.m.

On Saturday, Southeastern faces Fayetteville-Perry (the alma mater of SNS sports writer David Jablonski) in a D-IV sectional final at Monroe High School at Noon. The Rockets also beat Southeastern in the sectionals last season.
